<br>Knox, in profile to the right, stands in his lecture theatre dissecting a subject, a woman with long hair. Behind are two tiers of students, one with a black shield over the right eye (see Nos. 15950, 15952). In the foreground stands a youth, eagerly leaning on a railing before the lecturer. Above: 'Dedicated without permission. To a most distinguished, finishing Lecturer;—close of an obnoxious Session. Below: "That business, / Grapples you to the heart, and love of us," / Macbeth. / "Never Subject longed to be a King, / As I do long, and wish, to have [i.e. be] a Subject". / Shak. [2 Hen. VI, iv. ix]'. At the bottom of the sheet: 'The Profits to be given to the Relatives of the late most innocent; inoffensive, well known, and well liked, "Daft Jamie"' [see No. 15948].
