To this catalogue, I think we may add No. 13, Tom. i., and Tom. i. No. 16, as well as the figures at the comers of Tom. ii. No. 26 A, and those in Tom. ii. C, of which there is a modern copy under the name of The Five Muscovites.
1724.
1. Seven small prints to the new Metamorphosis of Lucius Apuleius of Medaura; printed for Sam. Briscoe, 12mo, 2 vols.; one of the plates without Hogarth's name. The hints for these figures are taken from the prints in a translation, 2 vols. octavo, printed for the same bookseller in 1708. A most contemptible modern imposition sometimes appears under the title of An Eighth Apuleius.
2. Masquerades and Operas—Burlington Gate; W. Hogarth, inv. et sculp. [Vide p. 22.] In the early impressions, the name of Pasquin, No. 11, is inserted as a label on a book in a wheel-barrow, where we have now Ben Jonson. Eight lines engraved on a separate piece of copper are sometimes found under the first impression: they begin—
"Could now dumb Faustus, to reform the age," etc.
Beneath them is, "price 1s." To the second impression—
"O how refined, how elegant we're grown!" etc.
The print is sometimes found without any lines. In this Hogarth's name is inserted within the frame of the plate. To the copy there are also eight lines, beginning—
"Long has the stage productive been," etc.
1725.
