The sketch is captioned ‘What happens after reading Aristotle his Ethics’. The declaiming man is saying something in Greek, and at the foot is written: ‘NB on the lower row to the left. may be observed the immortal Socrates. his pupils Aristides and Zeno are on his left. behind them are Gorgias and D. Republica the celebrated Epicurean philosophers. Aristotle is to be observed in the background asleep as he ought to be’, and is marked with Fox's initials.
The following quotation has been added on the leaf of the book itself: ‘But I’m afeard | Being in night, all this is but a dream | Too flattering sweet to be substantial. Romeo & Juliet Act. II. Sc. 2.’
