Title
The scheming triumvirate.
Description
English: A satire on fashionable enthusiasms for Laurence Sterne, Samuel Foote, and above all, for George Whitefield. In three comparments each with a crowd clamouring as it is addressed by its hero: Sterne holds his newly published 'Tristram Shandy' and a bag of cash labelled 'Magnus'; Whitefield, whose bag of cash is labelled 'Maxime', condemns Foote as 'a Child of Hell'; Foote holds out his new play 'The Minor', a satire on Whitefield and Methodism, and a bag of cash labelled 'Parvus'. While the crowds of the author and the playwright are well-dressed, Whitefield's includes a number of old people and street-sellers offering hymns and pamphlets for sale; an inscription in an old hand identifies as 'Mrs. Cole' (a character in 'The Minor') a woman with patches on her face who is saying 'Heal us for we are unclean'. 1760

Licensing

This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1931.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
