Plate 1. _First state_--A book "Mem^{dum} 1721, May 3d. My son Tom came from Oxford. 4th, dined at the French Ordinary. 5th of June, put off my bad shilling." _Second state_--The book erased to insert the cover of a Bible as the sole of a shoe. The girl's face altered for the worse. Woollen-draper's shop-bill omitted. Plate 2. _First state_--"Prosperity with Horlots smile." _Second state_--Altered to Harlots. Plate 3. _First state_--Dated June y^e 24th, 1735. _Second state_--June 25th, and a laced hat put on the head of the girl sitting next to the Rake. Pontac's head introduced in the place of a mutilated Cæsar. Plate 4. _Second state_--Shoeblack stealing the cane, erased, and his place supplied by a group of gambling boys. This design is unquestionably much improved by the alterations. Plate 5. _Second state_--The right foot of the bridegroom, which gave a tottering awkwardness to the figure, omitted. The maidservant's face altered. The hand of the figure looking out of the gallery blackened. In this print the artist has introduced a portrait of his favourite dog Trump. Plate 6. _Second state_--Rays round the candle stronger. In the original sketch, the principal figure was not, as now, upon his knees, but seated. Plate 7. In the very earliest impressions, Plate 7 is not inserted in the margin. Plate 8. _Second state_--Head of the woman with a fan altered, and affectedly turning away from the mad monarch. A halfpenny, with a figure of Britannia, 1763, fixed against the wall, to intimate what the artist thought the state of the nation. "Retouch'd by the author, 1763." It should seem that the man sitting by the figure inscribed "Charming Betty Careless," went mad for love. Dr. Monro, I am told, asserts that not more than one or two men have become mad from love in the course of a hundred years. Shakspeare has not, as I recollect, drawn one _man_ mad from that cause. I find by Hogarth's memorandum that the original pictures were sold to Francis Beckford, Esq., for £184, 16s. 1736. 1. Two prints of Before and After. See p. 26. 2. The Sleeping Congregation. _First state_--"Dieu et mon droit," under the king's arms, not inserted: the angel has a pipe in his mouth. _Second state_--The above motto added, the angel's pipe effaced, and the lines of the triangle doubled. _Third state_--Inscribed on the side of the print: "Retouched and improved, April 21, 1762, by the author." 3. The Distressed Poet. _First state_--Pope thrashing Curl, and four lines from the _Dunciad_ inscribed under the print. _Second state_--In the place of Pope, etc., view of the gold mines of Peru; and the four lines from the _Dunciad_ erased. This has been conjectured to be a portrait of Lewis Theobald, and in 1794 a copy of the head with his name annexed to it was published for Richardson. The original picture is in the collection of Lord Grosvenor. 4. Right Honourable Frances Lady Byron.
