Hogarth's Works, with life and anecdotal descriptions of his pictures. Volume 3 (of 3)

by John Ireland; John Nichols

NOTES.

The following hints are offered principally with a view to assist in identifying such characters in Hogarth's prints as are unnoticed, or but slightly described, in the preceding volumes. A key to the whole (for many of the figures not yet recognised were undoubtedly meant by the artist as portraits) would, to the other merits of these inimitable compositions, add the important one of making them an assemblage of the similitudes of the leading remarkables of his day.
