Hogarth

Excerpt from Hogarth

For most of the biographical matter in the present volume I have drawn on Nichols' and Steevens' The Genuine Works of William Hogarth: Illustrated with Biographical Anec dotes, 3 vols., 1808-10-17, the chief storehouse of Hogarthiana. Mr Austin Dobson's classic Life, William Hogarth, which will never be superseded, I have consulted in the folio edition, Heinemann, 1902. My grateful acknowledgments to Mr Dobson are made in the text; I have also to thank my friend Mr Muirhead Bone and Mr Francis Dodd for some kind suggestions.
