[10] Of all these a more particular account will be given in the Catalogue annexed. [11] Brother to _Henry Overton_, the well-known publisher of ordinary prints, who lived over against _St. Sepulchre's Church_, and sold many of _Hogarth's_ early pieces coarsely copied, as has since been done by _Dicey_ in _Bow Church-yard_. [12] This conceit is borrowed from _Vanloo's_ picture of _Colley Cibber_, whose daughter has the same employment. [13] It appears that Mr. _G._ was dissatisfied with his likeness, or that some dispute arose between him and the painter, who then struck his pencil across the face, and damaged it. The picture was unpaid for at the time of his death. His widow then sent it home to Mr _Garrick_, without any demand. [14] Afterwards rector of _Crawley_ in _Hampshire_; author of "_Ben Mordecai's_ Letters," "Confusion worse confounded," and many other celebrated works. [15] He died of the small-pox, Aug. 12, 1729, and is said, in the "Political State," to have possessed 5000 l. a year. He married a sister of lord _Bateman_, by whom he left a son and two daughters. [16] I have heard that he continually took sketches from nature as he met with them, and put them into his works; and it is natural to suppose he did so. [17] See the Catalogue at the end of these Anecdotes. A very considerable number of personalities are there pointed out under the account of each plate in which they are found. [18] The late Mr _Cole_, of _Milton_, in his copy of these Memoirs, had written against the name of _Bambridge_, "Father to the late attorney of that name, a worthy son of such a father. He lived at _Cambridge_." And in a copy of the first edition on occasion of a note (afterwards withdrawn) which mentioned "Mr. _Baker's_ having quarrelled with _Hearne_;" Mr. _Cole_ wrote, "Mr. _Baker_ quarrelled with no man: he might coolly debate with Mr. _Hearne_ on a disputable point. It is, therefore, a misrepresentation of Mr. _Baker's_ private character, agreeable to the petulance of this age." [19] The wardenship of _The Fleet_, a patent office, was purchased of the earl of _Clarendon_, for 5000 _l._ by _John Huggins_, esq. who was in high favour with _Sunderland_ and _Craggs_, and consequently obnoxious to their successors. _Huggins's_ term in the patent was for his own life and his son's. But, in _August_ 1728, being far advanced in years, and his son not caring to take upon him so troublesome an office, he sold their term in the patent for the same sum it had cost him, to _Thomas Bambridge_ and _Dougal Cuthbert. Huggins_ lived to the age of 90. [20] Mr. _Rayner_, in his reading on Stat. 2 _Geo._ II. chap. 32. whereby _Bambridge_ was incapacitated to enjoy the office of warden of _The Fleet_, has given the reader a very circumstantial account, with remarks, on the notorious breaches of trust, &c. committed by _Bambridge_ and other keepers of _The Fleet-Prison_.
