Note 3 — CATALOGUE OF HOGARTH'S PRINTS.[1] (continued 4)

Whilst the above page was preparing for the second edition of this work, the following particulars of this gentleman's family appeared in the public prints: "Mr. Molyneux, who was equally the friend of liberty and literature, was founder of a society in Ireland, in imitation of the Royal (as was his nephew, the Rev. Dr. Madden, of the Dublin Society). His genius was celebrated by Locke, and other sages of those days; and his patriotism was rewarded with the successive representation of the City and University of Dublin, with other posts of great trust, from the Revolution to his death. He married the daughter of Sir William Domville, attorney-general of Ireland in the reign of Charles the Second, and niece of Sir Thomas Leake, of Cannons in Middlesex, by whom he had an only son, Samuel Molyneux, Esq; secretary to his late Majesty when Prince of Wales, a lord of the Admiralty, and member of parliament both in Great-Britain and Ireland, who resembled his illustrious father in his pursuits of philosophical knowledge, which he many years, until engaged in political business, prosecuted with great application at his seat at Kew, now his Majesty's, and presented a telescope of his own construction to the King of Portugal; his perhaps fatal acquaintance with and patronage of St. André will make his name long remembered. Leaving no issue by his wife, who married St. André, and lived many years, the estate of Mr. Molyneux fell at her death to his cousin-german and her god-son, the right honourable Sir Capel Molyneux, member at present of the Irish parliament, and a privy-counsellor, only surviving son of Mr. Molyneux father's next brother, Sir Thomas Molyneux, bart. whom, through regard for his nephew, his late Majesty created the first Irish baronet upon his accession to the throne."
