Summary
A sequel to BMSat 9043. John Bull turns in terror towards a large demon (right) who clutches him by the coat-tail and leans towards him with an insinuating grin. Four smaller demons of the same species (left) depart, their spokesman, who holds a book, bowing with a sardonic grin. All five are nude, satyr-like monsters, with small horns, webbed wings, and splayed toes. The 'Visitor', who holds a large book, says "Please your Honor I am a Tax upon Income!" John cries: "Mercy on us! - am I never to be at Peace - this from his size - must be the commanding Officier of the Squad!" The departing imps say: "Good bye - Mr Bull - we are very much obliged to you for the Services of last year - very much obliged to you indeed!!" John, a 'cit', wears the ill-fitting wig of the artisan. 12 December 1798
