| Description |
English: See No. 15573. The title continues: 'or a "Christian Instructor" Brought to his marrow bones'. Grey, dressed as a bishop, wearing a mitre and voluminous white surplice over knee-breeches, sits in a gilt chair (left) putting his left hand over the head of Thomson (right), who kneels abjectly on both knees. The former holds a paper inscribed 'I hereby admit that I have propogated a falshood. [Th]omson'; he says: 'Rise step brother, as thou hast admitted thine error, and expressed contrition I freely forgive thee'. 1828

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) No such apology seems to have been made: Thomson repeated his charges (see No. 15574) in the Christian Observer for February (reprinted as a pamphlet), merely modifying them by holding Grey responsible for the 'Letters of Anglicanus', even if not their author; he reiterated his accusations against him and Mrs. Grey, saying (disingenuously, see No. 15580) he had never mentioned John Grey. He writes of Grey's 'bitter relentless malice' against himself. A Comment on the Rev. Mr. Grey's Communications to the Newspapers, respecting his share in the Letters of Anglicanus and the review of them in the Christian Instructor, 1828. Grey is pilloried as an ambitious crypto-Episcopalian. See No. 15587. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
