A satire on Sir Francis Burdett's speech on national defence made at the Crown and Anchor tavern in late July 1803.

The second "d" in "desperdado" has been cross-hatched out but was intended as a play on words, Burdett having had dealings with the traitor E.M. Despard.

Attributed by Broadley to I. Cruikshank.
