Summary:
Print shows Edmund Burke standing behind and with his hands on the heads of Richard B. Sheridan and Charles James Fox who bow before him over a railing, perhaps before Parliament. Burke says, "Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both Church & State ... who are aiming at the Overthrow of the British Constitution."
