ADVERTISEMENT.
The manuscripts from which the principal parts of this volume are
compiled were written by the late Mr. Hogarth; had he lived a
little longer, he would have methodized and published them.[1] On
his decease, they devolved to his widow, who kept them sacred and
entire[2] until her death, when they became the property of her
relation and executrix, Mrs. Lewis, of Chiswick, by whose kindness
and friendship they are now in my possession.
This is the fair and honest pedigree of the Papers, which may be thus
divided:--
I. Hogarth's life, comprehending his course of study, correspondence,
political quarrels, etc.
II. A manuscript volume, containing the autographs of the
subscribers to his "Elections," and intended print of "Sigismunda;"
and letters to and from Lord Grosvenor relative to that picture.
III. The manuscript of the _Analysis of Beauty_, corrected by the
author, with the original sketches, and many remarks omitted in the
printed copy.
