[Notes on the Investigator]. 1755.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/311890047

Bound volume containing two copies of Alan Ramsay's The investigator (no. CCCXXII, 1755) both with marginal notes written by William Hogarth. Notes reflect Hogarth's opinion of Ramsey's notion of beauty, which was at odds with his own views as written in his Analysis of Beauty. The second copy of The investigator included here appears to have been given by Hogarth to a colleague, though the recipient is unknown.

77, [3], 77 p., bound ; 23 cm.
