One of 350 copies. The letters in these volumes were in the possession of the editorÕs wife, Peggy, who was the great niece of Thomas Jefferson Hogg. They contain correspondence between Shelley and his biographer and boon companion, Hogg. Particularly significant are the letters concerning HoggÕs ÒrelationsÓ with ShelleyÕs wives, Harriet and Mary. ScottÕs commentary on these letters clearly reveals his purpose (perhaps imperfectly realized) of clearing Hogg of the charge traditionally levelled at him, that he tried to seduce both women.
