New morality, or, The promis'd install-ment of the high-priest of the theophilanthropes, with the homage of Leviathan and his suite / Js. Gy. inv. & fect.

Print is an illustration of Canning's poem, with the figure of Larevellière-Lépeaux standing at right before the altar, approached by a procession of English Jacobins who 'wave their Red Caps'. He is surrounded by four hideous, subhuman creatures, two with short tails, who, as news-boys, cry their respective papers. The group is on a circular stone dais supporting the altar, on which stand three figures on bases inscribed respectively (left to right) 'Justice', 'Philanthropy', 'Sensibility': (1) A frenzied hag ('The avenging angel of regenerate France'), with the snaky locks of Discord, holds a dagger in each hand; her breasts hang to her belt, which is inscribed 'Egalite'; she tramples on the sword and scales of Justice. (2) A stout woman clasps a globe on which 'Europe', 'Asia', and 'Africa' are indicated, squeezing it out of shape. (She 'glows with the general love of all mankind'.) She tramples upon papers: 'Ties of Nature and Amor Patriae.' (3) A weeping woman looks down at a dead bird in her right hand; in her left is a book Rosseau [sic]; she tramples on the decollated head of Louis XVI. Poets head the procession, carrying a large 'Cornucopia of Ignorance' from which pour papers and pamphlets; Southey, with an ass's head and hoofs, kneels beside it in obeisance to Lepeaux, holding out 'Southeys Saphics'; his 'Joan of Arc' protrudes from his pocket. Coleridge, also with an ass's head, holds out 'Coleridge Dactylic[s]'. Two frogs squat beside the cornucopia holding up a large paper: 'Blank Verse by Todd & Frog ['Blank Verse by Charles Lloyd and Charles Lamb', 1798. With these (and next Coleridge) Lord Moira stands, offering his sword to Lépeaux, and holding out a paper: 'Relief for Irish Philanthropists'. Behind the cornucopia is Darwin, supporting a basket on his head containing plants, on each of which sprouts a bonnet-rouge. It is labelled 'Zoonomia or Jacobin Plants'. The last of the literary group are Priestley and Wakefield, each holding a pen and paper. Behind Priestley advances Leviathan, with the head of the Duke of Bedford. The monster is ridden by Thelwall, Fox, Tierney, and Nicholls, and various members of the Foxite opposition party follow in the turbulent waters which rise up in Leviathan's wake.
