ENGLISH CURIOSITY, OR THE FOREIGNER STARED OUT OF COUNTENANCE.
January 1, 1794. [English Curiosity], or the Foreigner stared out of Countenance. (See 1784.)—This print, republished by S. W. Fores, and bearing the date of 1794, seems to have made its appearance as appropriate to the time, the caricatures of this year making capital out of the arrival of a distinguished stranger in this country, the great Plenipo, whose title appears in numerous satires and ballads:—
When he came to the Court, oh, what giggle and sport, Such squinting and squeezing to view him! What envy and spleen in the women were seen, All happy and pleased to get to him. They vow'd in their hearts if men of such parts Were found on the coast of Barbary, 'Twas a shame not to bring a whole guard for the king, Like the great plenipotentiary.
