Scope and content
Uncoloured print by James Gillray, printed for publisher Henry G. Bohn.
Fox is depicted seceding from Parliament, suggested as a reaction to the discoveries of his political intrigues with Irish rebels. He is accompanied by two faithful dogs, Lord Grey and M.A. Taylor. The rest of the Whig party remain in place, eating their words.
Originally published 6 November 1798.
