Later state of BM Satires 7722 with the addition of a scroll above the portrait letttered, "No ties can hold him, no affection bind, / And Fear alone restrains his Coward mind; / Free him from that no monster is so fell, / Nor is so sure a Bloood-hound found in hell." 14 September 1790

| Notes |
Dorothy George points out that the sheet on which this state was printed is larger than Adair's "Curious Facts ..." to which the first state (BM Satires 7721) served as frontispiece; this state was therefore probably sold separately. See 1851,0901.473 for further comment and description of related handbill. |

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.  | ||||
