The Wonderful Word Eater lately arrived from abroad (BM J,4.15), Fox, directed to the left, stands eating a long scroll which he holds in both hands; it rests on the ground and its lower end is cut off by the left margin. It is inscribed: 'The Influence of the Crown has increased, is increasing and ought to be diminished - [Dunning's famous resolution, cf. BMSat 5659] The Rights of the People - Omni[po]tence'. Fox has an enormous brush, which curls above his shoulder, inscribed: 'The Power of the People has increased, is increasing and ought to be diminished - The Rights of the Crown Hered[itary]'. He tramples under his right foot a paper inscribed 'Rights of Parliament'; under the left are the cap and staff of Liberty and the sword of Justice lying on the 'Bill of Rights' and 'Magna Charta'.  Beneath the title is etched:
'Who wonderfully outdoes all the wonderous Fire Eaters, Stone Eaters, Toad Eaters, &c &c that ever exhibited, engaging to crack, Scronch, swallow and digest as many of the largest and hardest Words in the English language as will reach round Westminster, with as much facility as Demosthenes swallo'd pebbles.
This most extraordinary Character is now eagerly eating, in St. Stephen's Chapel, for the Amusement of some of the Royal Family, several of the Nobility & Gentry, a great quantity of Popular Words he fabricated a few years ago, & making others which he may be expected to devour in a short time.'  29 December 1788

最近、海外から「不思議な言葉を食べる」という声がやってきている。「王権の影響が増し、増し、減らされるべきである-〔ダニングの有名な決議 cf. BMSat 5659] 人民の権利-オムニ[ポ]テンス」と刻まれている。フォックスは巨大な筆を持ち、肩の上でカールしており、「人民の力は増して増え、減らされるべきである - 王位継承権の権利[itary]」と刻まれている。彼は右足下に「議会の権利」と書かれた紙を踏み、その下に自由の帽子と杖、正義の剣が「権利の鐘」と「マグナ・チャータ」に横たわっている。タイトルの由来は「偉大な火のイーター、石食い、トードイーター、&c&cが展示し、ひび割れ、スクランチ、、英単語で最大かつ最も硬い単語の多くを、デモステネスが飲み込んだ小石と同じくらいの施設で、驚くほど優れている。」と刻まれている。「この最も非凡な性格は現在、聖ステファノ礼拝堂で、王室の何人かのアミューズメントのために、数年前に彼が作った数多くの人気のワード、数年前に彼が短期間で食べられると予想される他のキャラクターを熱心に食べている。」 1788年12月29日 手彩色のエッチング
