Published: J. Herbert. From the 'Ode ['ut supra'] . . ., by Peregrine Pindar'. James Lackington climbs into a coach, looking over his right shoulder at a group of jeering bystanders (right). His right foot rests on a pile of three large books: 'Bible', 'Tillotson', 'Common Prayer'. Under his right arm is a large volume, 'My Own Memoirs'. From his pocket protrudes a paper: 'Puffs & Lies for my Book'. On the coach are the letters 'J L'. The coachman, on the extreme left, looks down at his master with amusement, his hammer-cloth is inscribed: 'Small Profits do great Things'. In the foreground is an open book, on one page an oval portrait, on the other: 'The first 40 years of the Life of I L'. This a dog is befouling. The spectators are a barber's boy holding a wig, a butcher, an old woman, and three men. Behind them is a large corner house, Lackington's 'Temple of the Muses' in Finsbury Square. Across it runs the inscription '5000 Pr Ct cheaper than any Bookseller in the World'. From three open sash-windows amused spectators look down on Lackington. Others stand on the flat roof, from which rises a tower with a large flag. Description from the British Museum.
