_October 10, 1811._ _Distillers looking into their own business._
Published by T. Tegg.--The principal objects in the print are a still
and a cask of double-rectified spirits, into which three members of the
firm are involuntarily infusing foreign elements.
_October, 1811._ _Dinners Dressed in the neatest manner._ Published
by T. Tegg (112).--The preparations of the cook in question are not
calculated to increase the appetite of the observant epicure; the
_chef_ is hideous, old, rheumy, slovenly, and diseased; he is kneading
the paste with his objectionable hands, his snuffbox is on the board
by his side; while a blowsy and uncombed slattern is reaching down a
pie-dish, in which the rats have been revelling; the bold depredators
are scampering off no farther than the next dish. (Companion to
_Distillers looking into their own business_.)
_October 25, 1811._ _A Trip to Gretna Green._ Designed and published
by T. Rowlandson, 1 James Street, Adelphi.--The scene of the situation
is the green at Gretna, before the shed of _Tim Tag, 'Blacksmith and
Rector.'_ The worthy is in his clerical character, decently clad in
professional sables; and, with spectacles on nose, he is reading the
service, in a somewhat extemporary fashion, over a fugitive couple, in
the open air. A dashing captain, dressed in his regimentals, as was
then the everyday fashion in the King's service, is placing a ring
on the finger of a comely maiden of tender years, who is smiling and
blushing. The postilion who has driven the runaway pair to this stolen
match is standing, cap in hand, grinning at the ceremonial. While the
blacksmith is rivetting the fetters of Hymen in his clerical character,
his professional helpers are looking to the shoes of the horses which
are to bear the newly-married couple across the Border.
