The Goose of the Capitol Alias a Capital Goose!
Not on view
In this political satire, a white goose represents Joseph Hume, who cackles at Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington. The imagery was suggested to Doyle by Hume himself who, in a speech to the electors of Middlesex, reminded them that the cackling of a goose had saved the capitol of Rome, advising the inhabitants of the approach of invading Gauls.
