To his royal highness Fredrick Duke of York, this plate of Satan holding th prepondrence of power; or, Bounapartes threat, is most humbly inscribed, by E. Sanders. Print shows Satan holding a balance to which, on one end is attached a hot-air balloon with a bishop, possibly the Duke of York, and another man standing on top, its lightness has skewed the balance to end over end; at the other end is a parachute with three men standing in the basket, it is about to crash on the coast of England.
