Print shows Priestley walking right to left, diagonally away from the spectator; his face, turned in profile to the left, has a sinister smile. He holds out, as firebrands, two burning papers: 'Political Sermon' and 'Essay on Government'. From his pockets other papers project inscribed: 'Revolution Toasts, Essays on Matlin [sic] Spirit' and 'Gunpowder'. He tramples on books and papers, including an open book: 'Bible explained away.' Cf. BM Satires.
