A portrait of the former Pontefract MP, John Smyth, 'engraved August 20, 1807', 'At the Request of a numerous and respectable Part of the Electors of Pontefract', combined with texts by Smyth and his supporters, together presenting a pro-Smyth perspective on Smyth's defeat at the Pontefract election in May 1807. The publication condemns the way that 'the Electors, at the General Election in 1807, ungenerously ... suffered him to lose his election with the small minority of eight votes', and looks forward to a different outcome at 'a future Election'.
