THE Manuscripts from which the princi-
pal parts of this Volume are compiled, were
written by the late Mr. Hogarth; had he
lived a little longer, he would have metho-
dized and published them.* On his decease,
they devolved to bis widow, who kept them
sacred and entire-f- until her death; when
they became the property of her relation and
executrix, Mrs. Lewis, of Chiswick, by whose
kindness and friendship they are now in my
possession.
* The Dedication, of which I have prefixed a fac simile,
Was written for that wori.
t / am authorized to say, that during her life, Mrs.
Hogarth never farted with any cf his papers, except a loose
leaf nr some such trifle, which in one or two instances she
gave to such as wished to possess a little specimen of He-
garth's hand-writing.
