= After a long period of neglect, king George III started the long and costly restoration and expansion of Windsor Castle. Cf. Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935: ""The Little Man" [in the title] appears to be "No. 1", or "Mr T--ds--y", evidently T. Tildesley, Clerk of the Board of Works at Windsor Castle and the Queen's Lodge. It appears from the dialogue that Tildesley is to be dismissed because, owing to his alterations by stopping up drains or watercourses, the building has been endangered; moreover, he has acted without consulting the Board of Works, and is accused of a "firey pitch, tow and tar temper". The disasters, says the Clerk to the Board, are "no wonder ... when sailors are appointed surveyors". "All the tradesmen" say 'If a worse come in his place it must be that gentleman [the devil] upon the adjacent tower' ".
