Note 18 — HOGARTH.

The late Mr Cole, of Milton, in his copy of these Memoirs, had written against the name of Bambridge, "Father to the late attorney of that name, a worthy son of such a father. He lived at Cambridge." And in a copy of the first edition on occasion of a note (afterwards withdrawn) which mentioned "Mr. Baker's having quarrelled with Hearne;" Mr. Cole wrote, "Mr. Baker quarrelled with no man: he might coolly debate with Mr. Hearne on a disputable point. It is, therefore, a misrepresentation of Mr. Baker's private character, agreeable to the petulance of this age."
