A bright thought. (BM 1868,0808.11350)

No. 42. Wellesley-Pole sits in an arm-chair, pen in hand, supporting his head on his hand, and staring in front of him. On the floor (right) are a brief-bag and two briefs: 'Wellesley v. Long' and 'Long v. Wellesley'. Behind (left), other legal papers are stacked; on the top of a pile of papers inscribed 'Affidavit, 'Petition' (both several times), 'Answer', 'Bills is a Bill of Costs 5000'. On a round library table (right) are more dossiers. He says: 'I'll be revenged and write a faithful History of the Court of Chancery'. 1829
