Pitt (right) sits on a plain and solid monument, shaped roughly like a seat, raised from the ground by a projecting base. He sits arrogantly, in profile to the left, looking down at John Bull on his knees, and bowed down under a bulky burden of 'Taxes' and 'Assess'd Taxes'. John, full-face, looks out of the corners of his eyes at Pitt with a sour and calculating grimace, saying, "Tis more than I can bear." Pitt answers: "O Dear Johnny! tis nothing when you are used to it!" His left arm hangs over the back of the monument, which is Security; the base of his seat is 'Maiority', the base of the whole is: 'No Reform - Necessary' (see BMSat 8635, &amp;c).  23 January 1798
