The nine Prints from Mr Hogarths Paintings are printing and will be delivered to subscribers on the 25th instant. Subscriptions open at Hogarths Golden Head in Leicester Fields until June 23, half a guinea due on subscribing and another guinea on delivery, with price rising to two guineas after the specified time.
