James Hogg was a Scottish poet, known as the "Ettrick Shepherd," who enjoyed a vogue during the ballad revival that accompanied the Romantic movement. he was additionally a novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand and was largely self-educated through reading. Hogg is often associated with the Blackwood's 'Noctes Ambrosianae' circle, and especially with John Wilson. His admirers range from Byron to Andre Gide, and his influence on later Scottish writers has been immense, from Robert Louis Stevenson to Muriel Spark and beyond.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
10 + [1]pp., folio. On ten leaves of grey paper, attached at a corner with string. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded into a packet by Harington, and docketed by him: 'Squib in "The Times" by Sergeant Hayes afterwards Mr Justice Hayes | Prosecution of the War with Russia, & Liberty of the Press' The text, with marginal commentary, appears to be identical to that published in London in February 1855 by William Stevens, Printer, 37, Bell Yard, Temple Bar. The manuscript version differs stylistically from the printed one in that it employs clerkly contractions involving the macron.) In his 'Hayesiana' of 1892, Edmund Macrory states that Hayes' squib appeared at a point when the War in the Crimea was progressing in an unsatisfactory manner, and shortly after a second false report of the fall of Sebastopol had found its way into The Times and other papers. The start of the document gives a good impression of the whole: 'A Bill | For the more effectual prosecution of the war with Russia, & for securing the liberty of the Press & for o[the]r p[ur]poses | Wh[ere]as the war with Russia has not hitherto been carried on in such a manner as to satisfy public op[ini]on; And wh[ere]as Public Op[ini]on is completely & exclusively represented by "the Times" newspaper; And wh[ere]as all p[er]sons hith[er]to engaged in ye active prosecution of ye s[ai]d war are wholly incompetent to perform any of ye Duties confided to them; And wh[ere]as ye Times Newspaper is fully competent to discharge all such Duties: Be it therefore enacted, That the entire future conduct & manage[men]t of ye s[ai]d war shall be confided to ye af[oresai]d newspaper.'.

2pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is addressed, with postmarks, 'To | Doctor Roget M.D. | Bernard Street | London -'. See the entries on Sutton, Roget and Marcet in the Oxford DNB. The letter concerns a misunderstanding between Sutton and Marcet. (Two of Sutton's letters to Marcet with a copy of a reply by Marcet are offered together separately elsewhere.) The present letter is 2pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is addressed, with postmarks, 'To | Doctor Roget M.D. | Bernard Street | London -'. The letter begins: 'Doctor Sutton's compliments to Doctor Roget and feels somewhat surprized with the honor of a letter from him on the subject of a paper deliver'd to the Medical & Chirurgical Society - Dr Sutton certainly deliver'd the paper to Dr Marcet, with an injunction not to send it to the society until he heard from him, and understood undoubtedly that Dr M wou'd not deliver the paper 'til a further communication.' Sutton claims that 'with this certainty' he has 'as he thought allow'd the paper to remain with Dr Marcet', and he now asks Roget 'to procure him the paper again'. He has 'not yet decided respecting its destination, and whether with others he shall not make it a Society publication, with the addition of that matter which he [?] wou'd be added on a further occasion'. He concludes in the hope that Roget will either 'send the paper inclosed to Murray the Booksellers Fleet St directed to Dr Sutton - Greenwich to be left 'til called for', or allow Sutton to call on him 'in Lincolns Inn on monday or tuesday next'. (Sutton's two letters to Marcet, and the copy of a reply by Marcet, indicater that Sutton had been too forward in his approaches to Marcet, who took offence at having his veracity impugned.) From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III.

1p., small 4to. Very good: trimmed and neatly laid down on backing. Egerton has had 'some communication with our Managers', and if Egan will 'write a Farce, with a good part for Keeley, in his way, perhaps some sort of continuation of Jerry', he knows it will 'be accepted, & put into training'. He asks to hear from Egan by return, as he wishes to see the managers on the subject 'previous to Mr. Fawcetts leaving Town on Tuesday next, or the matter must rest three months'.
