About MeInscribed:
"Hogarth, begins the
english school - home bred, dramatic, immitative, and
with the soul of the serious
poet and camio ...yart to
grasp the universal interest,
which is revealed only to
the true seer in the short
ordinary and every-day
transactions of life" This
much for originality, to
be the father of the only
pure and original English
School is placing this
truly original genius on
the most exalted pinnacle
of the column of fame
and it would appear very
extraordinary that subsequent
labourers in the same vine
yard have never been able
to do more than look up to him.
