2. Mr. _Garrick_[1] in the character of _Richard_ III. _Painted by Wm. Hogarth; engraved by Wm. Hogarth and C. Grignion._ The late Mr. _Duncombe_, of _Duncombe Park_ in _Yorkshire_, gave 200 _l._ for the original picture, which is now in the possession of his family. The expression of the countenance is happily hit off, but the figure is abundantly too large and muscular. This print was afterwards, by _Hogarth's_ permission, copied for a watch-paper. [1] "Mr. _Garrick_ had several of _Hogarth's_ paintings; and the latter designed for him, as president of the _Shakespeare_ club, a mahogany chair richly carved, on the back of which hangs a medal of the poet carved by _Hogarth_ out of the mulberry-tree planted at _Stratford_ by _Shakespeare_." Anecdotes of Painting, vol. IV. p. 180. edit. 8vo, 1782. 3. A stand of various weapons, bag-pipes, &c. and a pair of scissars cutting out the arms of _Scotland_. A subscription-ticket for the March to _Finchley_; of which the original price was only 7 _s._ 6 _d._ It was to be raised to 10 _s._ 6 _d._ on closing the subscription. The additional three shillings afforded the subscriber a chance for the original picture. * * * * * 1747. 1. Stage-coach. An election procession in the yard. _Designed and engraved by William Hogarth._ In this plate there is a variation. The early impressions have a flag behind the wheel of the coach, inscribed NO OLD BABY, which was the cry used by the opponents of the honourable _John Child Tylney_ (then Viscount _Castlemain_ and now Earl _Tylney_[1]) when he stood member for the county of _Essex_, against Sir _Robert Abdy_ and Mr. _Bramston_. The figure still carries a horn-book, and a rattle in its hands. At the election, a man was placed on a bulk with an _infant_ in his arms, and exclaimed, as he whipt the child, "What, you little _Child_, must you be a member?" The family name was changed from _Child_ to _Tylney_ by an act of parliament in 1735. In this disputed election, it appeared from the register-book of the parish where Lord _Castlemain_ was born, that he was but 20 years of age. Some pains have been taken to ascertain the particular inn-yard in which the scene is laid, but without success, so many of the publick-houses between _Whitechapel_ and _Chelmsford_ in _Essex_ having been altered, or totally rebuilt.
