Note 30 — Chapter II
Reading edition
In his description of the Legion Club, after portraying many of the characters with most pointed severity, Swift thus exclaims:
"How I want thee, humorous Hogarth! Thou, I hear, a pleasant rogue art! Were but you and I acquainted, Every monster should be painted. You should try your graving tools On this odious group of fools; Draw the beasts as I describe them; Form their features while I gibe them; Draw them like, for I assure ye, You will need no caricatura. Draw them so that we may trace All the soul in every face."
