40. Plate 2.--Was probably engraved for Lord Carteret's _Don
Quixote_, but not introduced; one figure only being finished, and the
plate cut. _Vide_ p. 221.
41. Plate 3.--Engraved for the same work, but never inserted. _Vide_
p. 222.
42. Plate 4.--Had the same fate. _Vide_ p. 222.
43. Plate 5.--Was equally unfortunate. _Vide_ p. 224.
44. Plate 6.--Not approved. _Vide_ p. 224.
45. Plate 7.--Not inserted. _Vide_ p. 225.
46. Plate 8.--Not introduced; but with the other five came into
the hands of Mr. Dodsley, who sold a few of the first impressions,
and afterwards inserted references corresponding with Jarvis'
translation. _Vide_ p. 226.
47. Plate 9.--Sancho's Feast. _Vide_ p. 227.
48. The Master of the Vineyard, engraved for Horneck's _Happy
Ascetic_.
49. Gustavus, Lord Viscount Boyne, etc. Whole-length mezzotinto,
engraved in Ireland. W. Hogarth, _pinx._; Ford, _fecit_. The original
picture is in the possession of Mr. Bellamy. A copy of the print sold
in Gulston's sale for £2, 13s.
50. Mr. Pine (the mezzotinto engraver), in the manner of Rembrandt,
both his hands resting upon a cane. Printed for George Pulley, etc.
51. Another head of Mr. Pine; mezzotinto by M'Ardell. I am much
inclined to think that this is an alteration of the Plate No. 50. Be
that as it may, it is in every respect superior. Repaired copies,
with the inscription erased, are sometimes sold as Proofs.
52. Daniel Lock, Esq., F.S.A., mezzotinto. W. Hogarth, _pinx._; J.
M'Ardell, _fecit_. Price 1s. 6d.
53. Ticket for the London Hospital, with Richmond Arms.
54. The same, larger, without the Arms, by Grignion.
55. Another, with a view of the London Hospital.
56. The London Infirmary for charitably relieving sick and diseased
manufacturers, seamen, etc. A blank certificate for pupils in surgery
and anatomy.
57. A Witch on a Broomstick. Frontispiece to a pamphlet written by
Dr. Gregory Sharpe, but never published, inscribed Front-is-piss.
58. The Discovery, or a Black Woman in Bed.
A copy from Hogarth's Piquet, or Virtue in Danger, has been engraved
by Cheesman, and will be shortly published. The portraits of five
gentlemen who met to drink a hogshead of claret, which they finished
before they separated; of a nobleman and gentleman fighting with a
watchman; and an etching, copied from a small picture on the back of
a copperplate, have been some years advertised.
A portrait of Sir Alexander Schomberg, engraved by Townley from a
portrait by Hogarth.
A work, consisting of copies, the same size as the original prints,
and modestly entitled "_Hogarth Restored_," is now publishing in
numbers. The twelve originals of Industry and Idleness, Hogarth
published at twelve shillings. In this Restoration, the twelve copies
amount to thirty!
