Ronald Paulson, New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1997 {{ISBN|978-0-300-07346-1}}</ref> In it, he professes to define the principles of beauty and grace which he, a real child of [[Rococo]], saw realized in serpentine lines (the [[Line of Beauty]]).<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/r/rococo|title=Rococo – Art Term {{!}} Tate|last=Tate|work=Tate|access-date=23 June 2017|language=en-GB}}</ref> By some of Hogarth's adherents, the book was praised as a fine deliverance upon aesthetics; by his enemies and rivals, its obscurities and minor errors were made the subject of endless ridicule and caricature.<ref>Timbs, John (1881).
