custodhist
{"value"=>"<p>The bulk of the Pforzheimer Collection's Thomas Jefferson Hogg manuscripts – including the letters to B. Hoskyns Abrahall – were acquired by Carl H. Pforzheimer at the sale of the library of H. Buxton Forman, the English bibliographer and literary forger, on April 26, 1920. A few additional Hogg manuscripts were acquired in the 1920s. Another major Hogg acquisition came in June, 1948, through Sotheby's, with the purchase of a large collection of letters which had remained in Hogg's family, including Hogg's letters to Thomas Love Peacock, but also important letters to Hogg from Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley (see separate finding aids). After Pforzheimer's death in 1957 acquisitions continued under the auspices of the Pforzheimer Foundation; Hogg's Oxford exercise book was acquired in 1961, directly from his descendants. Since the Collection's 1986 move to the New York Public Library, only a handful of Hogg manuscripts have been acquired. This finding aid will be updated as new acquisitions are made.</p>"}

The Collection also holds a copy of his 1813 novel Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff and several copies of his 1858 biography The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley. In addition, there are several holograph letters addressed to Hogg from Leigh Hunt, Thomas Love Peacock, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and Percy Bysshe Shelley and a small handful of holograph letters written by other members of the Hogg family.</p>"}
