Image description

The Additional Forces Bill of Prime Minister William Pitt (1759-1806) was opposed by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) in a rambling speech described as 'a composition of satire and invective against Mr Pitt, which gave Mr Pitt an opportunity of breaking forth into a flow of eloquence, pointed repartee and severe animadversions on Mr Sheridan, which had great effect on the House'. Pitt allegedly drank a bowl of Maderia beforehand hence 'uncooking old Sherry';
