The impeachment, or "The father of the gang turned Kings evidence", British Cartoon Print
Summary
Print shows Edmund Burke standing behind and with his hands on the heads of Richard B. Sheridan and Charles James Fox who bow before him over a railing, perhaps before Parliament. Burke says, "Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both Church & State ... who are aiming at the Overthrow of the British Constitution."
