Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) >From 'Fraser's Magazine', iv. 609.

Brougham is described as writing a leading article: "The hour is three— just in time for the latest touch for the morning,—the subject, in all probability, some abuse of Lord Grey (a favourite topic), under cover of a seeming panegyric. Perhaps it may be some of that simulated censure of himself, which is intended to throw a doubt upon the authorship; but when we look upon the eager eye, the relaxed wig, the flung-aside gown, the whole air full of grimace and grog, it strikes us that abuse of the venerable senior, as he calls him, who is now nepotising [see No. 16578, &c] at the head of affairs is the staple commodity which is flowing full and fast from his nimble and caustic pen." 'The Ballot', 4 Dec, comments on print and article in an ironically pungent attack on man and paper. Brougham is said to intend a libel action: "I have ever been a consistent politician", it is therefore a grievous injury "to attempt to identify me with a journal which is notorious for its disregard of manly, honourable, and virtuous qualities . . .". Cf. No. 16844. For Brougham; and Grey see No. 16654, &c.; for 'The Times', Nos. 16654, 16670, 16714, 16936, 16938, 17318.

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
