_An Illustration of Hogarth_, in the German language, by J. C.
Lichtenberg, with reduced copies from the prints, by J. Ripenhausen,
has been published at Gottingen, in numbers at 15s. each. The same
plates are used for a work, also publishing at Gottingen, on a
similar plan, with the illustrations in French.
Many of the following articles, and others not worth enumeration,
imputed trash and libel not his own, have been foisted into
auctioneers' catalogues, sold for large sums, warranted originals, and
ASCRIBED TO HOGARTH.
1. Coat of Arms, from a large silver tea-table. Under the Arms are a
Shepherd and his Flock.
2. Shop-bill for Peter de la Fontaine.
3. The Oratory. Orator Henley on a scaffold.
