The Works of William Hogarth: In a Series of Engravings With Descriptions, and a Comment on Their Moral Tendency

Excerpt

Richard Hogarth, the third son, who was educated at St. Bees, and had kept a school in the same county, appears to have been a man of some learning. He came early to London, where he resumed his original occupation of a schoolmaster, in Ship-court in the Old Bailey, and was occasionally employed as a corrector of the press.
