pictures of Hogarth, and against them, as if moved by some miraculous wind, the pictures of the old school are driven into direct collision. The foreign works seem the aggressors-the havoc is mutual and equal. A Saint Francis has penetrated in a very ludicrous way into Hogarth's Morning-a Mary Magdalen has successfully intruded herself into the third scene of the Harlot's Progress, and the splendid saloon scene in Marriage-à-la-Mode suffers severely by the Aldobrandine Marriage. 'Thus far,' as Ireland observes, the battle is in favour of the ancients; but the aërial combat has a different termination ;-for, by the riotous scene in the Rake's Progress, a hole is made in Titian's Feast of Olym_ pus, and a Bacchanalian, by Rubens, shares the same fate from Modern Midnight Conversation."" CUNNINGHAM. 6 "Mask and Palette." Subscription Ticket to Garrick as Richard III. This Receipt, sealed and inscribed, "Not paid. Mr. Flockton," presented to S. Ireland by Hogarth, was sold in Baker's sale for £8. 8s. [N.] A copy of the "Mask and Palette" was published in 1781 by Rd. Livesay. 1746. [B. & N.] "Simon Lord Lovat. Drawn from the life, and etched in aquafortis by W. Hogarth." "When Lord Lovat was brought from Scotland, to be tried in London, Hogarth, having previously known him, went to meet him at St. Alban's, for the purpose of taking his portrait, and at the White Hart in that town, found the hoary peer under the hands of his barber. The old nobleman rose to salute him, according to the Scotch and French fashion, with so much eagerness, that he left a large portion of the lather from his beard, on the face of his old friend. He is drawn in the attitude of enumerating by his fingers, the rebel forces,-" such a general had so many men," &c.; and I am informed, the portrait is in air, character, and feature, a most faithful resemblance of the original." J. IRELAND. VARIATIONS.-Second state, marked, “Price 1s.” A Print in first state, and Funeral Ticket for Lord Lovat, with vignette of his portrait, after Hogarth, and variations of ditto, published by D. Fournier, 1747, were sold in Baker's sale for £5. 5s. An early foreign copy, with eight lines in German under it, is in the British Museum. A copy by Riepenhausen, 11 in. by 6. A copy by T. Cook. A copy in the Gentleman's Magazine for December 1746. Another copy in Lavater's " Essays on Physiognomy." [B. & N.] "Mr. Garrick in the character of Richard III.” Engraved by W. Hogarth and C. Grignion. "Give me another horse,-bind up my wounds,- "Such is the exclamation of Richard, and such is the disposition of his mind at the moment of this delineation. In character and expression of countenance, the artist has succeeded, but in resemblance he has failed. The features have no likeness to the features of Mr. Garrick, and the figure gives an idea of a larger and more muscular man. The lamp, diffusing a dim religious light through the tent, the crucifix placed at his head, the crown, and unsheathed sword at his hand, and the armour lying on the ground, are judicious and appropriate accompaniments.
