Brown, G. Baldwin. William Hogarth. [*]$1.25. Scribner.
“A fresh and independent treatment of Hogarth’s life and art.” As his life was spent at his work save for his runaway marriage, his French visit and arrest at Calais, and some sharp political controversy, the book deals chiefly with his paintings, their value, influence and humor. There are many illustrations.
“Mr. Brown gives a fairly satisfactory and correct summary of the leading incidents in the painter’s life but he has little that is original or enlightening to say concerning his art.”

“Professor Baldwin Brown has written a very good book on Hogarth, and one which, in spite of its moderate size and price, will give the general reader a juster understanding of the true nature of Hogarth’s art than he is likely to get elsewhere.”
