This note provides the context and transcription of a short satiric article published in the Bristol Mirror on the political events of 1809. The piece used chemical metaphors to provide an understanding of the circumstances surrounding the change of ministry in Britain in the autumn of that year. The article bears a strong resemblance to early twenty-first century political satire, including its relationship, or lack thereof, to reality.
