DE QUINCEY, THOMAS. Autograph manuscript of the essay "On Hogarth's Funeral in the Harlot's Progress -- As Noticed by Lamb." [N.p., 1811]. 2 pages, 4to, both sides of a single sheet, a few slight stains, a working draft with revisions, apparently unfinished. De Quincey's title indicates that this essay was prompted by a reading of Charles Lamb's article "On the Genius and Character of Hogarth" which originally appeared in The Reflector in 1811. It begins: "The peace is there which once she had in her native solitude and in her father's cottage. She has recovered it in her coffin. The little infant, that is playing on the floor amongst funeral pageantries that for itself are but holiday trophies, rehearses the condition which once was hers. The thoughtlessness of the infant is sublime: chief mourner it is. And even the worldly obdurate clergyman, that attends in his robes of office, seems more alien even that is that infant..." The essay seems to have survived only in this rough draft and is apparently unpublished.
