In the year 1763 Hogarth erased his own head from the plate, and in its place inserted "The Bruiser, C. Churchill (once the Rev^d.!), in the character of a Russian Hercules, regaling himself after having killed the monster Caricatura, that so sorely galled his _virtuous_ friend the heaven-born Wilkes." _First state_--Three of the upper knots on the club are left white (white lies), and a line inscribed "the line of Beauty," drawn on the palette. _Second state_--The knots shaded, and a political print introduced on the palette. _Third state_--The letters "N. B.," and the word "Infamous" inscribed on the club; and "Dragon of Wantley" added at the end of "I warrant ye." "Price 1s. 6d." instead of "1s." In the year 1758 Hogarth published a full-length of his own portrait, painting the Comic Muse; inscribed "W. Hogarth, serjeant painter to his Majesty,"--"Engraved by W. Hogarth." This being a mistake of the writing engraver, the painter altered it to "the face engraved by W. Hogarth." _Third impression_--"The face engraved by W. Hogarth" omitted. _Fourth state_--"Serjeant painter," etc. scratched over with the graver. _Present state_--The face retouched. Comedy also has the face and mask marked with black; and on the pillar is written, "Comedy, 1764." No other inscription beneath the print but "W. Hogarth, 1764." The original small whole-length picture from which it is copied was sold by Greenwood after Mrs. Hogarth's death. The companion portrait of Mrs. Hogarth is in the possession of Mrs. Lewis of Chiswick. A portrait of Hogarth was in 1781 engraved in mezzotinto by Charles Townley from a picture painted by Weltdon, and finished by Hogarth, now in the possession of James Townley, Esq. A portrait, copied from that in the Gate of Calais, I have seen prefixed to a dull pamphlet, published in 1781, entitled _A Dissertation on Mr. Hogarth's six Prints lately published, viz. Gin Lane, Beer Street, and the Four Stages of Cruelty_. I have a small engraving of his head, I believe done for the _Universal Magazine_, in which he looks like a village schoolmaster. An etching of his head by S. Ireland was prefixed to a catalogue of Hogarth's works, sold by Christie, in May 1797. Two small portraits have been engraved for watch-papers. A head in the dotted style has been engraved for Mr. Jeffrey, Pall Mall, but is not published. 1750. The March to Finchley; engraved by Luke Sullivan. Dedicated to the King of Prusia: thus was the word spelt in the prints delivered to the subscribers. A few early impressions were dated 30th December 1750; but the 30th being that year on a Sunday, it was altered to the 31st. A print in the collection of Dr. Ford is inscribed "Printed and published by W^m. Hogarth," instead of " Printed for W^m. Hogarth, and published," etc. In the etching, of which very few were struck off, the woman to whom an officer presents a letter on the point of a pike, turns her head the contrary way to what she does in the print.
