The head and shoulders and the scythe of Time appear above a large open book which he holds. On its left page is the Knave of Clubs with the head of Fox; behind his feet is inscribed 'Pam be Civil'. On the right page is the Knave of Hearts with the head of North. On the lower edges of the book are 'Fox' (left) and 'North'. The book rests upon two cliffs, between which is a ravine into which it will fall when it is closed and across which the title is etched. Time's hour-glass stands beside the book (right); he is the conventional figure with wings and a scythe. Pam connotes the Knave of Clubs (see BMSat 6556).  1 April 1784
