*A,* The Proprietors being desirous of placing the genuine
prints of Hogarth in the hands of all his admirers, have deter-
mined to publish this edition at less than half the price of the
former, and yet more complete, as additional plates will be
given. The publishers pledge themselves that the impressions
of the Plates shall be clear and perfect, as they are determined
not to print more copies than can be produced in good order,
however large the demand may be for this edition ; but as the
very law terms may induce a large subscription, the earsieat names
received will not only secure copies of the work, but will of course
also hare the best impressions. The subscription must be closed,
and the public shall have due notice of it, when the limited im-
pression now printing is exhausted. It must be gratifying to
the admirers of llogarth to see the identical Plates of the great
master—some engraved by hint A HUNDRED YEARS AGO—so
perfectly restored.
The Publishers confidently challenge comparison between the
. earliest and.finest impressions from those Plates and the present
edition, eight numbers of which are now before the Public.
PLAN OF PUBLICATION.
The entire Series will be comprised in Fifty-two Numbers,
Imperial Folio, at ss. each, containing, for the most part three
Plates, or Taso and a Sheet of Letter,press, printed on a super-
. fine Dravtiug P4per, prepared for the occasion. The' Work
will be delivered in the order of Subscription, the name of each
Subscriber being placed on his copy; and the Numbers will be
published every( ALTERNATE WEEK, so that the whole may be
completed in two years.
A Portfolio has been prepared by the Publishers, for the
use of this work. Price £1 es.

I.** From a host of testimonials in favour of the unrivalled
genius of Hogarth the following are selected :
" Hogarth was the spontaneous offspring of the graphic spirit
of his country, as native to the heart of England as independ-
euce is; and lie may fairly be called, in his own walk, the first-
born of her 461 lie painted life as he saw it. He gives no
• visions of by-gone things.—no splendid images of ancient man-
ners; he regards neither the historian's page nor the poet's
' song. Ile was contented with the occurrences of the passing
b the folly, or the sin of the hour ;—to the garb and
fashion of the moment, huwever, he adds story and sentiment
for all time. •
"What is the merit of the painter? If it be to represent life,
—to give us an image of man,—to exhibit the workings of his
heart,—to record the good and evil of his nature,—to set in mo-
tion before us the very beings with whom earth is peopled,—to
shake us with mirth,—to sadden us with woful reflection,—to
please us with natural grouping,—vivid action, and vigorous
colouriug,-110GARTII HAS DONE ALE. Tnts."—Altan Cunning-
ham.
"One of the earliest and noblest enjoyments I had when a
boy was, in the contemplation of those capital prints by Ho-
garth, the HARLOT'S AND RAKE'S PROGRESSES, which, along
with some others, hung upon the walls of a great hall in an old-
fashioned house in —shire, and seemed the solitary te-
nants (with myself) of that antiquated and life•deserted apart-
ment.
Recollection of the manner in which those prints used to
affect me has often made me wonder, when I have heard Ho-
garth described as a mere comic painter, as one whose chief
ambition was to raise a laugh. To deny that there are through-
out the prints which I have mentioned cirenmstances intto-
"(Need of a laughable tendency, would be to rnu counter to the
emnason notions of mankind;lut to suppose that in their ruling
character they appeal chiefly to the risible faculty, and not first
and foremost to the very heart of in.m, its hest and most serious
feelings, would be to mistake no less grossly their aim and pur-
pose. A act of severer satire:, (for they are nit so much come-
dies, which they have been likened to, as they are sarong and
• masculine satires,) less mingled with anything of mere fun,
were never written upon paper, or graven Irmo copper. They
resemble Juvenal, or the satiric touches in Tinton of Athens.
"I was pleased with the reply of a gentleman, who, being
asked which honk he esteemed mast in his library, answered,
Shakspeare being asked which he esteemed next best, re-
plied, ' His graphic representations are, indeed.
