frontispiece Moore describes. For engravings, see Vol. II of Paulson's _Hogarth's Graphic Works_. [2]: Reprinted here with permission of the Henry E. Huntington Library (No. 151783). There are two other extant copies of the first edition: one in the Boston Public Library and the other in the British Library. The British Library copy has two inserted engraved portraits (Theophilus Cibber in his role of Pistol, and Hogarth seated at an easel studying a cartoon of a goddess, probably based on "Hogarth Painting the Comic Muse" of 1758). Yale University has a photostat facsimile of the Boston Public Library edition. I thank David Rodes for looking at the British Library copy. [3]: Reprinted here in typescript form from a manuscript difficult to reproduce legibly. The work is anonymous. The typescript appeared as "Appendix I" of my unpublished New York University dissertation on William Hogarth with permission of the Trustees of the British Library. I have discussed it in "_The Rake's Progress_: A New Dramatic Version of William Hogarth's Prints," in _Notes and Queries_ (October 1972), 381-383. The theatrical career of the author, Theophilus Cibber (1703-1758), has not been fully assessed. He did know Hogarth: they both belonged to John Rich's group, the "Sublime Society of Beef Steaks," which met in the scene-painting loft over the Covent Garden stage. Cibber joined the group in September 1739, and Hogarth was a charter member in 1735 (_HGW_, I, 188). Cibber himself played an active role in the creation of the position of stage manager or "under-manager" (_LS_, 3, I, xcvi).
