The Rev. John Trusler

The Rev. John Trusler, who published an abridgement of Blackstone's Commentaries, popular histories, sermons, books on etiquette, gardening guides, and the very popular Way to be Rich and Respectable, first issued his Hogarthian commentaries in 1768. The British Museum Catalogue, which has an incomplete listing of these commentaries, records editions of 1821, 1831, 1833, 1861, and 1891. I have used The Works of William Hogarth . . . with Descriptions and a Comment on their Moral Tendency, 2 vols. (London, 1849).
