Political satire: John Bull and Napoleon are shown bowing to each other very politely, Napoleon excusing himself for his delay in destroying Bull's country, saying he can give thirty-six reasons, the first being that he has no ships; John Bull replies that the first reason is quite sufficient and begs him to dispense with the others.  c.1803
