In the second state—A quotation from Dr. Warton's Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope was inserted in one corner of the margin; but the critique which it contained being founded in a mistake, which the Doctor in the second edition very liberally retracted, Hogarth, in some of the succeeding impressions, covered the quotation with paper when the print was taken off, and afterwards entirely effaced it from the copper.
In the present state of the plate, the date of publication and name of the engraver are taken out.
