Примечания

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) This illustrates the proceedings at the court martial (7 Jan.- 11 Feb. 1779) on Keppel for the action off Ushant, 27 July 1778, on the application of Sir Hugh Palliser, his Vice-Admiral, here accused of preventing Keppel from achieving a complete victory. The quotations (not always textually accurate) are taken from the folio "Proceedings at Large of the Court-Martial" . . . published by Almon. In No. 3 Palliser's 'Privy Councillor' is Captain Alexander Hood, captain of the 'Robuste', in whose Log Book alterations had been made after it was known that it would be produced at the court martial. 'The Rumour' in question was that Keppel was to be tried. No. 4 relates to Rear-admiral Campbell's evidence on the failure of Palliser to obey the signal, so preventing any further attack on the French. No. 5 relates to the evidence that three leaves for the days between 25 and 28 July were cut out of the Log Book of the 'Formidable', Palliser's ship; Bazely, the captain on the 'Formidable', being asked to explain, answered "I do not know, so help me God - I hold a ship's log book sacred"; adding that "they kick them [a ship's rough log book] about the orlop". No. 6 relates to evidence on communications between the 'Fox' frigate and the 'Formidable'. The result of the court martial was a triumph for Keppel, the charge against him being pronounced "malicious and ill-founded", and in popular opinion was a virtual conviction of Palliser, whose conduct was believed to be due to the influence of Sandwich. The London mob attacked the Admiralty, burnt Palliser in effigy and gutted his house. The artist's name is perhaps an allusion to Captain Baillie of Greenwich Hospital and his exposure of Sandwich, see BMSat 5548 [4], [5]. He can hardly be Captain William Baillie, the well-known amateur engraver. The 'Porcupine' appears in the Navy List of 1779 as a 16-gun sloop commanded by Captain Finch; in 1780 as a 6th rate (24 guns) commanded by the Hon. H. S. Conway.

The size of the plate and the page-references suggest that it was designed for Almon's 'Trial' (B.M.L., 1890, d. 13). For the battle see BMSat 5484, 5486, 5626; for the court martial see T. Hutchinson, 'Diary and Letters', ii, 1886, pp. 242-3, 299; Walpole, 'Letters', x, pp. 350, 352, 359, 360, 362, 366, 377-83, 385-7, and BMSat 5537, 5538, 5548 [3], and for the blame incurred by Keppel BMSat 5570, 5626, 5650, 5658, 5992, &c. See also Mason's 'Ode to the Naval Officers of Great Britain', 1779. For the use of the log-book incident for electioneering see BMSat 5998. Cf. also BMSat 5999.
