_March 1, 1808._ _Miseries of High Life._--'Briskly stooping to pick up a lady's fan, at the same moment when two other gentlemen are doing the same thing, and so making a cannon with your head against both of theirs, and this without being the happy man after all.' [Illustration: MISERIES OF HIGH LIFE.] _March 1, 1808._ _The Green Dragon._ Rowlandson del. Published by R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--A clerical-looking and corpulent reprobate is receiving the upbraidings of his infuriated spouse, to whom the artist has playfully given some resemblance to a veritable dragon, with teeth, claws, and venom. The position of affairs is further explained by a spirited representation of 'Socrates and Zantippe,' which hangs on the wall. A pretty servant-maid, who is making a somewhat hasty exit, is supposed to have aroused the jealousy of the virago, whose vials of wrath have brought her stout helpmate to a state of stupefaction and terror. The picture is accompanied by the lines of Gay, from the _Beggars' Opera_:-- With rage I redden like scarlet, that my dear inconstant varlet, Stark blind to my charms, is lost in the arms of that jilt, that inveigling harlot! _March 1, 1808._ _Description of a Boxing Match._ June 9, 1806. Published by T. Rowlandson, 1 James Street, Adelphi. _April 1, 1808._ _Soldiers on a March._ 'To pack up her tatters and follow the drum.' Designed and published by T. Rowlandson, 1 James Street, Adelphi.--The progress of the regiment is much impeded by camp-followers. A stream happening to cross the route, the marching party are wading through; the soldiers bearing in addition to their knapsack the fairer burden of a wife, and in some cases two infants, with kettles, gridirons, and other culinary appliances, the latter swinging on the end of their muskets. The officer commanding the party has the advantage of securing a mount on the plump shoulders of a pretty damsel, whose skirts are tucked up as a preparation towards wading across the water, with the feathered hero on her back. _May 12, 1808._ _The Consultation, or Last Hope._ Published by R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--'So when the Doctors shake their heads, and bid their patient think of Heaven--all's over, good night!'
