_June 4, 1800._ _Britannia's Protection, or Loyalty
Triumphant._--George the Third, his face shown in profile, is standing
upright and firm; his left arm is resting on the pillar of Fortitude,
Britannia's shield is outstretched for his protection, and her spear is
striking at the would-be assassin Hadfield, who, wearing a repellant
expression, is slinking down before her: his pistol has fallen from his
hand; round his neck is a halter, with the end of which a miniature
edition of the Evil One is flying off, crying: 'Hadfield, for thy
diabolical attempt thou shalt meet with thy reward!'
_June 26, 1800._ _A Silly._ Published by R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--An
ill-favoured old maid, who is evidently a person of fortune, is
seated on her sofa between two admirers, a clergyman and a military
officer, who are respectively ambitious of the honour of her hand. Her
old-maidish tastes are indicated by the nature of her pets; a monkey,
seated in the embrasure of the window, is scratching his ear; he is
supported on the opposite side by a parrot, which is screaming with the
full force of its lungs.
_June 26, 1800._ _A Sulky._ Companion Print to _A Silly_. Published by
R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--A fat old curmudgeon, a very porpoise in
face, expression, and figure, is tippling and dozing in a semi-maudlin
state, in front of the fire-place. His fair companion, an elegant
young damsel, is dressed in readiness to make her escape into more
agreeable society; she is fuming with impatience, but dares not
venture to move for fear of arousing the attention of her besotted
jailer. Her situation is more tantalising from the circumstance that
the maid-servant has brought in a billet-doux from a handsome youth,
her admirer, who, all impatience, is looking over the shoulders of his
messenger.
_July 25, 1800._ _Collar'd Pork._ Companion to _Beef à la Mode_ (see

eye-glass, white ducks, blue coat with roll collar, brass buttons, his
tail twisted up with bows, &c., _à la queue_. He wears Hessian boots,
tassels, and spurs on his front legs; pumps with bows, and black silk
stockings on his hind legs.
