"The interior of a chapel with an impassioned preacher inspiring his listeners; considerably altered from the earlier state known as "Enthusiasm Delineated", for instance, by the substitution of representations of the Cock Lane Ghost (a topical reference to a fraud of 1762) for the figures of Christ, the removal of the barking dog, and the introduction of rabbits emerging from the skirts of the woman swooning on the floor in allusion to Mary Toft, the Rabbit Woman of Godlaming."--British Museum online catalogue

Description:
Title etched below image., Lettered above the image with text beginning: Hogarth's first thought for the medley. Copied from a very curious print designed and engraved by Hogarth, of which there are only two impressions, both of them in the possession of John Ireland. After taking the above impressions, Hogarth changed the point of his satire from the superstitious absurdities of popery & ridiculous personification delineated by ancient painters, to the popular credulities of his own day, erased or essentially altered every figure except two, & on the same piece of copper engraved the plate which is copied on the opposite page., Dedication etched below title: Humbly dedicated to his Grace the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, by his Graces most obedient humble servant Wm. Hogarth., Text following dedication: Advertisement. The intention of this print, is to give a lineal representation, of the strange effects of literal and low conceptions of sacred beings, as also of the idolatrous tendency of pictures in churches, and prints in religious books, &c., "Page 233"--Above image, right., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., Copy of: Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
