New morality

NEW MORALITY; - or - The promis'd Installment of the High-Priest of the THEOPHILANTHROPES, with the Homage of Leviathan and his Suite.\nPublishd. August 1.st 1798. by J. Wright N.o 169. Piccadilly. for the Anti-Jacobin Magazine & Review\nThe intention of the whole engraving reports the signature and the poem. Only some passages/ need explanation in the latter. In the second column are mentioned/ the Courier, Star, Morn. Chron. and Morning Post: the first two evening, the latter morning newspapers of the opposition. In the third column the names to be filled in are Col-/ ridge, Southey, Loyd, Lamb. In the fourth Priestley, Wakefield, Thelwal - then Willi-/ ams, Godwin, Holcroft. In the fifth fill out thus: mitt Derby, Byng &/ Norfolk in thy train, and Whitbread wallowing &c. - Now the figures! The birds above are not characteristic, except the Marquis of Lansdowne who introduces a night owl, because of his Jesuit character; he is called Malagrida for this reason. Below Courtenay has his hobby-horse in hand jokes/ about the public cultus; Sir Fr. Burdett was immensely interested in the Irishman/ of O'Connor, which is why he had to be most pleased about the latter's absolution:/ therefore glorious acqu. is attached to him here. &c. which he is said to have dedicated to Lady Oxford,/ Lord Oxford being also a fierce oppositionist. Duke of Norfolk lost some honorary titles because of his health \"the sovereignty of the people\" in the Whigclub - What the ta-/ belle Coco's adress means I do not know, nor have been able to learn. The great orator Whitbread, a strong opposition man, is here poseably indicated by a beer barrel. Lord Derby has horns because he has married a beautiful young actress (Miss Farren). Nicholls Speech is only in his pocket to distinguish him all the more: he often speaks in Parliament and may often have meditated. Tierney's address to his constituents last year caused a sensation. The snake below/ is David Williams has written among other atheistic writings the Letters to a young prince/ (of Wales) - Godwin, who has written on political justice, is shown here in a good ministe/ rial way as a little donkey - In front of him Holcroft stands, who always wears glasses and cropped hair; the head is very similar in all caricature, the feet present a/ chain link referring to Windham's (the minister's) expression acquitted felons,/ wrongdoers absolved, as it refers to Messrs. Tooke, Holcroft, Hardy &c. [?]/ who in the year 1794 were accused of high treason and acquitted by the juries to the annoyance of the government. Holcroft then wrote a prickly letter/ to Windham: he holds it here in his hand. - Paine appears as Crocodill; he has/ a laced chest on because he was initially a \"bodice-maker\". - Above is/ Thelwall in the attitude of a clerk, which he really had when he held his/ political lectures, which got him so bad that he has now retired to a/ corner in Wales; the holes in his skirt testify to his/ poverty. - Priestly and Wakefield are easily known; the latter has his pointed/ writing to the Bishop of Landath in his hands- Blank verses by toad & frog/ are to be understood of Lloyd and Lamb, whose unrhymed poems were very frey/: Gillrey makes them coax, for their contempt. Southey/ and Colridge twoy opposition-minded poets appear as asses, also merely/ to ridicule them: for both have merit, but especially Southey/ above from Darwin's (also an anti-ministerial) zoonomy sprouted Jacobi-/ nerm caps - Moira's speech in favour of the Irish. rebels (which he has in hand)/ made him many enemies - the writings below of which I cannot/ decipher all are all written by people connected with the
