swiftly, perpetually employed in a great variety of unavoidable business. The days succeed one another with great rapidity. Nevertheless, I think I don't enjoy so good a health as in England, though I was often ill there; but the hurry I have been in this six months, which cannot be described, may be the reason of it. I am afflicted with a continual headache, which I have not been subject to this five-and-twenty years, and which, if it should not abate, will occasion my return before business will well admit. I suppose you have before this time some spring days at Ivy Hall. I shall have no country air this year, but am going to lodge in the most open part of the town, which I hope will do instead, that is, upon the Quay de Conti, next to College Mazarine, where I shall be in three weeks ready to receive the answer that I beg you will favour me with.--I am, Sir, your humble servant, "ROUQUET. "PARIS, _March 22, 1753_." _To Mr. Hogarth, in Leicester Fields._ "CAMBRIDGE, _Nov. 28, 1753_. "SIR,--I return you thanks for your book, which came to my hand last night, and for which I will find a place in the University library. I have read it over with pleasure, and have no doubt but that many others will do the same, as there can be no one here to whom Mr. Hogarth's name will not be an inducement to inquire into anything that comes from his hand.--I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, "P. YONGE." Hogarth presented another copy to the Royal Society; and by several of his books that were sent abroad, he found that, however captiously the work had been treated by some of his own countrymen, it had its admirers on the Continent. From Mr. Reiffsten of Cassel, in consequence of this publication, he received a letter couched in most complimentary terms, inviting him to become a counsellor and member of the Imperial Academy at Augsburg,--an invitation which, by his reply, he appears to have accepted. An Italian translation of his _Analysis_ was published at Leghorn, dedicated, "All' illustrissime Signora Diana Molineux Dama Inglese." It had been previously done into German by Mr. Mylins, a new edition of whose translation is thus pompously announced by Mr. C. F. Vok, in a written paper I found among Hogarth's manuscripts:-- _Advertisement for a New Edition of Mr. Hogarth's "Analysis of Beauty."_
