| Description |
English: See No. 15573. An infantry officer wearing a shako stands between Thomson (left) and Grey (right) holding out a pistol to each; both wear Geneva gowns and register ignoble alarm. He looks towards Grey (right), saying, 'This matter cannot be settled without lodging an ounce of cold lade into aitch others stomach's; Here is as note a pair of Manton's percussion hair triggers, as ever were handled, and kill dade at 60 yards. Take your choice of weapons'. Thomson: 'Oh! Major O'Trigger [cf. Sheridan's 'The Rivals'] point not thy pistol at my body; it is a fearful weapon! I fight by the word alone in the battle of faith! Grey: Kill at 60 yards!! I'll fight none, but pray for him.We shall yet be friends'. 1828

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) Grey had said in his letter to the Scotsman (see No. 15574) 'Whatever I have done before, I now feel imperatively the duty imposed upon me to "love, bless, and pray for" him {qua enemy]. If my prayers are heard, we may soon be friends again.' This Thomson stigmatized as 'cant ... in perfection'. |

Licensing
[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.  | ||||
