Description |
English: Hibernia, seated, holds on her lap Fox (left) and North, whom she is suckling (right). She says, "Bless the little Innocents!"

At Hibernia's feet Burke kneels in profile to the right, holding a staff inscribed 'Faction'; he earnestly addresses a man whose body is partly composed of an Irish harp inscribed 'Sedition'; he is in profile to the left, horns sprout from his forehead; his resemblance to the Bishop of Deny in BMSat 6654 is marked.

Notes |
For the clamour raised and exploited by Fox against Pitt's Irish Resolutions see Lecky, vi. 399-401; Russell, 'Memorials and Correspondence of Fox', ii. 270 f. Rutland wrote from Ireland to Pitt, 16 June 1784, 'Mr Fox I am informed, says, He shall make his harvest from Ireland.' The demand for 'protecting duties' was made in Ireland in April 1784, cf. BMSat 6647. The Resolutions on Commercial Intercourse between Ireland and Great Britain were laid before Parliament on 22 Feb. 1785, and were attacked by Fox. 'Parl. Hist.' xxv. 311 ff. See letter of Pulteney to Rutland, 22 Mar., on the manoeuvres of the Opposition. 'Hist. MSS. Comm. Rutland Papers', iii. 193-4. Rose, 'Pitt and National Revival', pp. 249 ff. For Irish unrest see BMSat 6654, &c. For the Irish Propositions see BMSats. 6787, 6788, 6789, 6792, 6794, 6795, 6796, 6798, 6799, 6800, 6801, 6802, 6805, 6806, 6809, 6812, 6964, 7124, 7135, 7389, 7480.

[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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
