29. Impression from a tankard belonging to a club of artists, who,
as I have been told, met at the sign of a Shepherd and his Flock,
Clare Market. This design is in a good taste. On the dexter side,
as a supporter, a man making a drawing; and on the sinister, a man
modelling a figure. In the centre is a Shepherd and his Flock, etc. A
copy sold in Mr. Gulston's sale for £10.
_Miscellaneous._

snuff-box. _Vide_ p. 25. Sold, Feb. 7, 1786, at Mr. Gulston's sale
for £33.
31. An Emblematic Print, representing Agriculture, etc.
32. A Hieroglyphic Print, representing Royalty, Episcopacy, and Law,
composed of emblematic attributes, etc., abounds in wit and satire.
Of this there is a good copy by Samuel Ireland.
33. Two small prints for books 1st and 3d of Milton's _Paradise
Lost_. W. Hogarth, _inv. et sculp._ These two prints were in Mr.
Gulston's sale sold for sixteen guineas; but the original plate
of that for book 3d has been lately discovered, and is now in the
possession of Mr. Vincent.
34. A Woman swearing a Child to a grave Citizen. W. Hogarth, _pinx._;
J. Sympson, jun., _fecit_. _Vide_ p. 188. Another copy is in Picart's

The impressions are usually taken off in green. A copy of this also
is in Picart's _Religious Ceremonies_.

Hogarth, _inv. et sculp._
The second impression published for Sayer.
37. The Political Glyster, "Nahtanoi Tfiws" (Swift's name spelt
backwards), engraved on one corner, and on the other, Dr. O'Garth,
_sculp._ It was originally inscribed, "the punishment inflicted on
Samuel Gulliver," etc.; but when the plate came into the hands of Mr.
Sayer, he added the present retrograde and ridiculous inscription.
38. Six small prints, engraved for an early edition of King's
_Pantheon_.
NINE PRINTS FOR "DON QUIXOTE."
