Published: William Holland. Planets surround an irradiated sun inscribed 'Treasury', on which are three open money-bags. At the summit of the orbit (shown by concentric circles), stands Fox, hands on hips; above his head is a five-pointed star: 'THE FOXONIN STAR. This is the Grand Polar Star, - in every storm and tempest Seamen turn towards him to enquire into their latitude.' Fox is equidistant from Sheridan (left) and Tierney (right). The former is 'THE SHERRY-ONIAN STAR. He is of great mgnitude [sic] in the scale and is continually looking towards the Dog Star.' Beside him is a small dog in a circle: 'The Carlonian Star newly discover'd [Carlo, hero of 'The Caravan'. Tierney is 'THE TIERNEYAN STAR. This Star makes his progress once in seven years round the Borough Star'. He looks towards a small circle inscribed 'Borough'. At the base of the circle is the largest star; Pitt stands within a circle from which rays issue to left and to right, and which is itself irradiated by an adjacent and smaller planet enclosing the head of George III. This is 'PITTONIAN STAR a star of the first magnitude - he turns continually round the brillant [sic] star called the Georgium Sidus - from which he is repell'd by a centrifugal motion - it is principally at the Stock-Exchange or St Stephens Chapel that a due observation may be taken of him.' Pitt irradiates (left) the tiny figure of Canning who is also irradiated on the left by rays from a circle enclosing the head of Grenville (not named). He is the 'CANNINGIAN STAR. He describes a diurnal revolution round himself and an annual revolution round the Pittonian Star - he is the smallest of all the political Stars - it requires an excellent telescope to discover him - he is continually lost in the rays of the Grenvillian and Pittonian Stars'. On the right, and at a greater distance from himself than Canning, Pitt's rays strike Addington (half length) who leans towards his star: 'THE ADDINGTONIAN star. He is turning continually round every other star, let him approach the least towards the Canningian star, the Foxonian or even the smallest planet he is carried away by their motion - The Pittonian Star exerts over him the influence of the Moon which possesses the power of raising or lowering the tides - this Star is rapidly approaching to an Eclipse.' Above Addington (right) stands Melville in Highland dress, his profile touching his circle or planet. He is 'THE DUNDASIAD STAR. He describes his diurnal revolution round France, and his annual round the world, it is in Scotland and in India, that you make take the best observation of him, he is labouring under an Eclipse, but it is still expected that he will reappear'. On the opposite side of the Sun, rather higher up than Melville and below Sheridan, stands Hawkesbury: 'the HAWKSBERIAN STAR. This is a star of much brilliancy but shines only with a borrowed light - Astronomers have hitherto been puzzled to describe Ms course, it seems to be liable to continual Aberrations.' Below him, and above Grenville, is a comet with the head of Windham saying, "War! War War." This is 'THE WINDHAMERIAN STAR. He belonged to the Burkean constellation which ws disappear'd - this is a most Eccentric planet and partakes of the Nature of the Comet Astronomers are strongly of Opinion - that if he be not closely confined to his Orbit, he must end in the destruction of the world'.
