His sermon hangs over the edge of the tub, the upper sheet headed 'Bind the Kings with chains &c.' The tub rests on a large book: 'Calculations' (an allusion to Price's works on population and finance). Beneath the title is engraved : '"Every Man has his Price!" Sir R. Walpole'."--British Museum online catalogue.
