Charles Williams

England and Ireland, represented by a bumpkin John Bull and pretentious Hibernia, are entertained by an overly solicitous Bonaparte. Recently joined by the union into an uneasy alliance, England and Ireland are faced with the disturbing prospect of a newly friendly France after the treaty of Amiens in March 1802. After the treaty, English tourists immediately flocked to France.
