Title
Neddy's Black Box
Description

Edmund Burke kneels before a throne, from which the Prince of Wales has risen, actively holding out his hands for the head of Charles I which Burke proffers in a box inscribed 'Treasury Box'; he says, "My Liege I told them in the House no day so proper to settle the Regency as Charles's Martyrdom". Richard Brinsley Sheridan stands behind Burke, leaning forward, and with a sullen expression: "I too am for Dispatch such days best suit our Purpose"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Horn Tooke's Letter on the Princes Marriage' ('Prince' appears to have been scored through). Beneath the title is etched: 'Containing what he does not value three skips of a louse". '"Why not Debate it on Friday I say it is the only Day in the Year on "which it ought to be Debated (Charles's Martyrdom) and carried up in the "Black Box". - Vide M Burk - s Speech on Tuesday last.' 30 January 1789
