[Charles Agvent]

HOGG, James. THE PILGRIMS OF THE SUN; A Poem. London & Edinburgh: John 
Murray and William Blackwood, 1815. First Edition. Octavo (6" x 9-1/8") 
bound in later 3/4 burgundy morocco leather with gilt lettering on the 
spine. Complete with half-title page. Dedicated, in verse, to Lord 
Byron. Hogg was a Scottish poet and novelist. William Wordsworth's 1835 
"Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg," written in the year 
of Hogg's death, includes the lines:


The mighty Minstrel breathes no longer,

'Mid mouldering ruins low he lies;

And death upon the braes of Yarrow,

Has closed the Shepherd-poet's eyes.


This eulogy notwithstanding, Wordsworth's noted "He was undoubtedly a 
man of original genius, but of coarse manners and low and offensive 
opinions." Pencil name of Walter Campbell on the front endpaper, 
contents clean and fresh; rubbing along spine edges and corners. Very 
Good. (#020901)        $200
