From "Notes & Queries—" 4th. S. II. 427.
Natural Inheritance (4th S. II. 343.)— Several years ago I was struck with the strong likeness of a workman at the Great Western Railway works at Swindon to the engraved portrait of Hogarth, in no way lessened by the peculiar cap he wore, which was of the exact type of that in the picture. I asked him his name, & was surprised to find that he bore the name of Hogarth, & claimed to be descended from the great

painter. He was a fine well-built man, & proud of a likeness which had been frequently before observed; the pattern of his cap is thus accounted for.
