- Title
JAMES HOGG: ALTERATIONS TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
- Authors
Groves, David
- Abstract
The article presents information on the original edition of James Hogg's "Confessions of a Justified Sinner," which is a supposed facsimile of the handwriting from a page of Robert Wringhim's diary. Written in a small, neat hand, just ten days before his suicide in 1712, the passage gives Robert's account of his sufferings, and his despairing decision to join the fiendish Gil-Martin in repeating a tremendous prayer. The reminiscence concerns a meeting in Robert Scott's engraving workshop overlooking Parliament Square in Edinburgh.
