Medicine -- Anecdotes; Medicine -- Humor; Pharmacists -- Early works to 1800; Physicians -- Early works to 1800
Adapted to the present House of Peers, and emblematical of each of the
Lord’s present _hobby horses_, either in the fashionable and dissipated
pursuits of pleasure, or the more confined Walks of business; including
their domestic amusements and connections, with upwards of Eighty
Examples, neatly Etched, by an eminent Engraver.
“This is a new and excellent method of delineating Characters, and
saying more in the compass of a Shilling, than can generally be
conveyed by _mere words_ in a whole Sheet! How the present House of
Peers will approve of these new Armorial Bearings, which are drawn in
the true HOGARTHIAN Stile, with great Humour, and no small degree of
Satire, is not for us to determine; we must however acknowledge, in
Justice to the Author, the Examination of these whimsical Arms has
afforded us great Entertainment.”
Vide Review for November.
