Tom. i. No. 9.--Tiara Patriarchalis Græca.
Tom. i. No. 10.--A Lady and Black in a Bath. No name legible.
Tom. i. No. 11.--Dance of Elegant Female Figures. _Vide_ p. 125.
No. 15.--A Procession.
Tom. i. No. 17.--A Group of Figures in Turbans.
Tom. i. No. 18.--A Scene in the Seraglio.
Tom. ii. No. 3.--Park of the Artillery.
Tom. ii. No. 5.--"Bender."--Portrait of Charles XII.
Tom. ii. No. 8.--Head of Charles XII., etc.
Tom. ii. No. 9, Plate I.--Fodina Argentea Sahlensis.
Tom. ii. No. 9, Plate I.--Ditto.
Tom. ii. No. 11.--Fodina Terrea Danmorensis.
Tom. ii. No. 14.--A Lapland Hut, with Reindeer, etc.
To this catalogue, I think we may add No. 13, Tom. i., and Tom. i.
No. 16, as well as the figures at the comers of Tom. ii. No. 26 A,
and those in Tom. ii. C, of which there is a modern copy under the
name of The Five Muscovites.
1724.
1. Seven small prints to the new _Metamorphosis of Lucius Apuleius of
Medaura_; printed for Sam. Briscoe, 12mo, 2 vols.; one of the plates
without Hogarth's name. The hints for these figures are taken from
the prints in a translation, 2 vols. octavo, printed for the same
bookseller in 1708. A most contemptible modern imposition sometimes
appears under the title of _An Eighth Apuleius_.
2. Masquerades and Operas--Burlington Gate; W. Hogarth, _inv. et
sculp._ _Vide_ p. 22. In the early impressions, the name of Pasquin,
No. 11, is inserted as a label on a book in a wheel-barrow, where
we have now Ben Jonson. Eight lines engraved on a separate piece of
copper are sometimes found under the first impression: they begin--
"Could now dumb Faustus, to reform the age," etc.
Beneath them is, "price 1s." To the second impression--
"O how refined, how elegant we're grown!" etc.
The print is sometimes found without any lines. In this Hogarth's
name is inserted within the frame of the plate. To the copy there are
also eight lines, beginning--
"Long has the stage productive been," etc.
1725.
1. Five Small Prints for the translation of _Cassandra_, in 5 vols.
duodecimo; W. Hogarth, _inv. et sculp._
2. Fifteen Headpieces for the _Roman Military Punishments_, by John
Beaver, Esq., engraved in the style of Callot.
The Plate to chap. xvii., "Pay stopped wholly or in part," etc.,
differs from that sold with the set. At the bottom of the former,
in the book we read, "W. Hogarth, _invent. sculpt._;" the latter
has, "W. Hogarth, _invent. et fec._" The former has a range of tents
behind the pay-table. These are omitted in the latter, which likewise
exhibits an additional soldier, attendant on measuring out the corn,
etc.
A little figure of a Roman General in the title-page may possibly be
by Hogarth, though his name is not to it.
3. A Copy from Kent's Altar-Piece, _vide_ p. 23. This was usually
printed on blue paper. In the original the word "_wings_" is
terminated with a long _ſ_. In a modern copy this error is corrected.
