will is, that the remainder of my money, securities for money, and debts due to me, shall of right belong to my said executrix hereinafter named; and all my other goods, pictures, chattels, and estates, real or personal whatsoever, I do give and bequeath the same and every part thereof unto my dear wife Jane Hogarth, whom I do ordain, constitute, and appoint my sole executrix of my will. And I do hereby revoke all the other wills by me made at any time. In witness thereof, I do hereunto set my hand and seal, this day, August 16th, 1764. "WILLIAM HOGARTH (L.S.). "Signed, sealed, and published, and delivered by William Hogarth, to be his last will and testament, in the presence of us, who in the presence of each other have subscribed our names as witness thereto.--_Richard Loveday_, _George Ellsom_, _Mary Graham_." His remains were removed to Chiswick, where, on a plain but neat pyramidical monument, are the following inscriptions:-- On the first side is engraven: "HERE LIETH THE BODY OF WILLIAM HOGARTH, ESQ., WHO DIED OCTOBER 26, 1764, AGED 67 YEARS. MRS. JANE HOGARTH, WIFE OF WILLIAM HOGARTH, ESQ. OBIT 13 NOVEMBER 1789, ÆTAT: 80 YEARS." On the second: "HERE LIETH THE BODY OF DAME JUDITH THORNHILL, RELICT OF SIR JAMES THORNHILL, KNIGHT, OF THORNHILL, IN THE COUNTY OF DORSET: SHE DIED NOV. 12, 1757, AGED 84 YEARS." On a third: "HERE LIETH THE BODY OF MRS. ANNE HOGARTH, SISTER TO WILLIAM HOGARTH, ESQ. SHE DIED AUGUST 13, 1771, AGED 70 YEARS." On the front, in _basso-relievo_, is the comic mask, laurel wreath, rest-stick, palette, pencils, a book inscribed _Analysis of Beauty_, and the following admirable lines by his friend Mr. Garrick:-- "Farewell, great painter of mankind, Who reached the noblest point of art; Whose pictured morals charm the mind, And through the eye correct the heart. If genius fire thee, reader, stay; If Nature touch thee, drop a tear: If neither move thee, turn away, For Hogarth's honoured dust lies here."[36] _Time_ will obliterate this inscription, and even the pyramid must crumble into dust; but his fame is engraven on tablets which shall have longer duration than monumental marble. During the twenty-five years which his widow survived, the plates were neither repaired nor altered,[37] but being necessarily entrusted to the management of others, were often both negligently and improperly taken off.[38] On Mrs. Hogarth's demise, in 1789, she bequeathed her property as follows:--
