Summary: A satire on the Philadelphia militia, the first and apparently only number issued in a projected series of 'Sketches of Character' by Edward Williams Clay. In the center an officer reviews a disorderly line of soldiers, some of them uniformed, standing at varying degrees of attention. In the background are two tents with people dining and drinking, a fiddler playing, and flags reading 'Hurrah for Old Hickory' and 'Jackson For Ever.' A cider barrel is visible in one tent, and at a table shaded by an umbrella ladies dispense drink. The militiamen are said to include well-known Philadelphians of the period.
