Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Lettice Sandford (illustrator). 25x16cm, 87pp. With illustrations by Lettice Sandford printed in black and hand-coloured. Copy 15 of 60 (300), signed by Walter Sidney Scott and Sandford, bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe in quarter-cream sheepskin over 'cloth of gold' patterned cloth-covered boards, a.e.g., gilt title to backstrip, in a slipcase of thin cream card. The original plan was for this book to be illustrated by Joan Hassall, but after many delays Christopher Sandford turned to his wife. He was disappointed by the hand-colouring done by 'a lady working from home in Hendon' (Cave & Manson) although the work seems pleasant enough here. The letters were known as the 'Lushington Papers', lent by Susan Lushington, a friend of Lettice Sandford's. Scarce and rather luxurious in the special edition as here, with the rich 'cloth of gold' brocade and all edges gilt (as Sandford notes in Cock-a-Hoop) Very Good (Fine but for moderate toning to backstrip) in a Fair (splits along several edges, rather grubby) slipcase. Cock-a-Hoop 193.

All printed on perpetua type, on Arnold's mould-made paper. A complete set of all three volumes of Hogg's correspondence. The first volume contains correspondence between Thomas Jefferson Hogg and his friends Thomas Love Peacock, Leigh Hunt, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and others. The second contains the relations between Percy Bysshe Shelley, Harriet Shelley, Mary Shelley, and Thomas Jefferson Hogg. The third details the early correspondence of P. B. Shelley with his friend T. J. Hogg, together with letters of Mary Shelley and T. L. Peacock and a hitherto unpublished prose fragment by Shelley. Considering the fact that all three of these volumes were published during the war, this is a charming set, with a superior paper quality not often found during this time period.
