The late Mr. _Forrest_, of _York Buildings_, was in possession of a sketch in oil of our Saviour (designed as a pattern for painted glass), together with the original portrait of _Tibson_ the Laceman,[87] and several drawings descriptive of the incidents that happened during a five days tour by land and water. The parties were Messieurs _Hogarth, Thornhill_ (son of the late Sir _James_), _Scott_ (the ingenious landscape-painter of that name), _Tothall_,[88] and _Forrest_. They set out at midnight, at a moment's warning, from the _Bedford Arms_ Tavern, with each a shirt in his pocket. They had particular departments to attend to; _Hogarth_ and _Scott_ made the drawings; _Thornhill_ the map; _Tothall_ faithfully discharged the joint office of treasurer and caterer; and _Forrest_ wrote the journal. They were out five days only; and on the second night after their return, the book was produced, bound, gilt, and lettered, and read at the same tavern to the members of the club then present. Mr. _Forrest_ had also drawings of two of the members (_Gabriel Hunt_ and _Ben Read_), remarkable fat men, in ludicrous situations. Etchings from all these having been made in 1782, accompanied by the original journal in letter-press, an account of them will appear in the Catalogue under that year. A transcript of the journal was left in the hands of Mr. _Gostling_,[89] who wrote an imitation of it in _Hudibrastic_ verse; TWENTY COPIES only of which having been printed in 1781, as a literary curiosity,[90] I was requested by some of my friends to reprint it at the end of the second edition of this work. It had originally been kept back, in compliment to the writer of the prose journey; but, as that in the mean time had been given to the public by authority, to preserve the Tour in a more agreeable dress cannot, it is presumed, be deemed an impropriety. See the Appendix, N° III. [1] History of _Westmoreland_, Vol. I. p. 479.
