Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Conway, who was Commander-in-Chief with a seat in the Cabinet under Rockingham, not only failed to resign with Fox, but defended Shelburne's administration from the attacks of Fox on 9 July. For this he was compared by Burke to Little Red-Ridinghood, hence the allusion to 'Political Innocence'. ‘Parl. Hist.' xxiii, pp. 165-8, 183; Walpole, ‘Last Journals’, 1910, ii. 451-2; Wraxall, ‘Memoirs’, 1884, ii. 367 ff. Lord Hertford was reappointed Chamberlain in April 1783. For Fox's resignation see BMSat 6010, &c. For Shelburne as a triumphant conspirator see BMSat 6011, 6012, 6013, 6028, 6032, 6044, 6046, 6166. Grego, ‘Gillray’, i. 41, where the rats are explained as members of the Ministry; BMSat 5966 leaves no doubt that they are members of the Conway family. Wright and Evans, No, 8. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
