PATRIOTIC ADMONITIONS ON THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES,

“ THE PROGRESS OF CRUELTY.” The plates by the moral satirist William Hogarth, the explanation by the

Reo. John Trusler. A few alterations in the plates and comments, are marked by brackets.

“ These prints were engraved with the hope of in some degree correcting that barbarous treatment of animals, the very sight of which renders the streets of our metropolis so distressing to every feeling mind. If they have that effect in checking the progress of cruelty, I am more proud of being their author than I should be of having painted Raphael's Cartoons."

Hogarth.
