The figures employed in the study of _Palmistry_ seem to be designed for Physicians and Surgeons of an Hospital, who are debating on the most commodious method of receiving a fee, unattentive to the complaints of a lame female who solicits assistance. A spectre, resembling the _Royal Dane_, comes out behind, perhaps to intimate that physick and poison will occasionally produce similar effects. A glass case, containing skeletons, is open; a crocodile hangs overhead; and an owl, emblematic of this sapient consistory, is perched on an high stand. I suspect these two to have been discarded sketches--the first of them too barren in its subject to deserve finishing, and the second a repented effort of hasty spleen against the officers of _St. Bartholomew's_, who might not have treated some recommendation of a patient from our artist with all the respect and attention to which he thought it was entitled. But this is mere supposition. 3. Portrait of _Henry Fox_ Lord _Holland_. 4. Portrait of _James Caulfield_ Earl of _Charlemont_. The above four articles are all etched by _S. Haynes_, pupil to the late Mr. _Mortimer_, from original drawings in the possession of Mr. _S. Ireland_. The six prints which follow, were published by subscription by Mrs. _Hogarth_ in _April_ 1782; of these No. 5. was engraved by _Bartolozzi_, and the rest by _R. Livesay_. 5. The Shrimp Girl, a head, from an original sketch in oil, in the possession of Mrs. _Hogarth_. This plate, which is executed in the dotted manner so much at present in fashion, should have been etched or engraved like those excellent performances by _Bartolozzi_ after the drawings of _Guercino_. Spirit, rather than delicacy, is the characteristic of our artist's _Shrimp Girl_. 6. 7. Portraits of _Gabriel Hunt_ and _Benjamin Read_, in _aqua tinta_, from the original drawings in the possession of the late Mr. _Forrest_. The drawing of Mr. _Hunt_ was taken in 1733, a period when, from the number of street-robberies, it was usual to go armed. _Hunt's_ couteau is stuck in one of his button-holes. The figure of _Ben Read_ was taken in 1757. Coming one night to the club after having taken a long journey, he fell asleep there. _Hogarth_ had got on his roquelaure, and was about to leave the room; but, struck with the drollery of his friend's appearance, he exclaimed, "Heavens! what a character!" and, calling for pen and ink, took the drawing immediately, without sitting down. To be recorded only as votaries of the bottle and pipe, is no very flattering mark of distinction to these members of our artist's club. There is scarce a meaner avenue to the Temple of Fame. 8. Three plates, from the original sketches of _Hogarth_, designed for the epitaph and monument of _George Taylor_. The drawings are the property of Mr. _Morrison_.
