they will thrive and flourish; but where they are neglected, and do not find encouragement, they will droop and languish." _Malton's_ Appendix to his Treatise on Perspective. [A] The idea of this contrast between fertility and barrenness is an old one. _Hogarth_ probably took it from the engraving known by the name of _Raffaelle's Dream_. [2] Mr. _H. Emlyn_ has lately realised this plan, by his Proposals for a new order of architecture, 1781. 3. Mr. _Huggins_. A small circular plate. _Hogarth pinx. Major sculp._ On the left, a bust, inscribed, "IL DIVINO ARIOSTO." "DANTE L'INFERNO, IL PURGATORIO, IL PARADISO." Mr. _Huggins_ (of whom see p. 19.) had this portrait engraven, to prefix to his translation of _Dante_, of which no more than a specimen was ever published. The bust of _Ariosto_ was inserted by the positive order of Mr. _Huggins_ (after the plate was finished), though much against the judgement of the engraver, who was convinced that a still ground would have shewn the countenance of the person represented to much greater advantage. Mr. _Major's_ charge was only three guineas, and yet eleven years elapsed before he received even this trifling acknowledgement for his labour. Dr. _Monkhouse_ has the plate. * * * * * 1761. 1. Frontispiece and tail-piece to the catalogue of pictures exhibited at _Spring Gardens. W. Hogarth inv. C. Grignion sculp._ There is a variation of this print; a _Latin_ motto under each in the second edition. In the earliest impressions _obit_, corrected afterwards to _obiit_. The same mark of ignorance, however, remains unamended over the monument of the Judge in the first plate of the _Analysis_. 2. _Time_ blackening a picture. Subscription-ticket for his _Sigismunda_. "_This, and the preceding tail-piece, are satires on Connoisseurs._" 3. The Five Orders of Perriwigs at the Coronation of _George_ III.[1] Many of the heads, as well as wigs, were known at the time. The first head of the second row was designed to represent Lord _Melcombe_; and those of Bishops _Warburton, Mawson,_ and _Squire,_ are found in the groupe. The advertisement annexed, as well as the whole print, is said to have been a ridicule on Mr. _Stewart's_ Antiquities of _Athens_, in which, with minute accuracy, are given the measurements of all the members of the _Greek_ Architecture. The inscription under the print affords a plentiful crop of false spellings--volumns--advertisment--baso--&c. The second _e_ in advertisement was afterwards added on the neck of the female figure just over it. The first and subsequent impressions will be known by this distinction. [1] A Dissertation on Mr. _Hogarth's_ print of the Order of Perriwigs, viz. the Episcopal, Aldermanic, and Lexonic, is printed in _The Beauties of all the Magazines_, 1761, p. 52.
