Bonaparte (left), standing among clouds, threatens the five Directors with a large jagged sword. He wears a shirt, sash, and spurred boots only, and has a bleeding wound. He declaims angrily: "Regicides, Parricides, Fratricides, &amp; Patricides, this is the Effects of your Insatiable thirst for Conquest, this is Your reward for my Glorious Achievements in Italy, Germany, &amp;c - to die by the Hand of an Assassin, - a D------d Musselman; &amp; all my Brave Legions Destroyed by Water Melons &amp; the Arabs. Go Murderers in Cold Blood; may your Conscious Guilt ever prey upon your Vitals; &amp; may the Name of Nelson ever haunt you Sleeping &amp; waking." The Directors, wearing their plumed hats (except one whose hair rises) and elaborate cloaks (see BMSat 9199), shrink in terror. They are seated at an oblong table on which is a paper: 'Item to send Buonaparte to Egypt to prevent his organizing the Directory.' 1 January 1799
