Washington-based lawyer Francis Joseph Hogan (1877-1944) made a national reputation representing clients such as Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, Evelyn Walsh McLain, and, most notably, Edward L. Doheny, for whom he secured acquittal in the Teapot Dome case. In 1904 he founded Hogan & Hartson, now the oldest major law firm in the nation’s capital. Hogan collected American and British literary high spots throughout the thirties, with a special emphasis on association and inscribed copies. His legal business frequently brought him to Los Angeles, where he enjoyed displaying selected treasures to his fellow Zamorano Club members. On March 3, 1937, following one of the Club’s regular lunches, he hosted a small exhibition of books and manuscripts, accompanied by this small catalogue written and printed by Ward Ritchie. All of the major Romantics are represented, many by distinguished association copies of their works. High spots were a copy of the 1798 Bristol edition of Lyrical Ballads, and a 'Keats shrine', which included a copy of the 1817 Poems inscribed by Keats to Wordsworth, as well as an autograph letter from Keats to Fanny Brawne. Hogan’s collection was dispersed after his death at a series of four sales held at Parke-Bernet Galleries in 1945-1946. Some wear to covers, with loss to bottom corner, pencil signature of M S Slocum, Pasadena to front endpaper, with the note 'gift from Mr Hogan' , (Miles Standish Slocum 1887-1956), contents fine, unmarked. [673] Size: 275mm. x 200mm.
