P.S. Still looking forward to Kirk's transcription, though. Obviously you're
spoiling us, Kirk. Or at least me. :D

You're welcome!
I just looked on ECCO and found a couple of books with Mendoza's name on as
author that I'm sure weren't there last time I looked. The boxing text in each
seems to be almost identical to that in the "modern art" text I photographed,
which suggests that the latter is a complete plagiarism of the former.
There are two versions and the difference is that one has a series of letters,
"statements of fact" &c. about Mendoza and Humphries.

It is "Eighteenth Century Collections Online", a resource containing PDF scans
of huge numbers of 18th century books available for personal use only to
subscribers. http://www.gale.cengage.com/DigitalCollections/products/ecco/index.htm
I have access to this through Oxford University.
Some useful stuff is there but I am not permitted to distribute it on the LSD
site.

No worries. I'll still repub it. I appreciate Milo providing
additional scans. Gives me a cross-reference for when my photocopy is
dark or difficult to read.
Unfortunately for me, the long "s"'s will make OCR virtually impossible
for the software that I use. So it'll be a hand transcription. That
could allow more errors to slip in but we'll dbl check it. :-)
