HOGG, See also:THOMAS See also:JEFFERSON (1792–1862) , See also:English See also:man of letters, was See also:born at See also:Norton, See also:Durham, on the 24th of May 1792. He was educated at Durham See also:grammar school and at University See also:College, See also:Oxford. Here he became the intimate friend of the poet See also:Shelley, with whom in 1811 he was expelled from the university for refusing to disclaim connexion with the author-See also:ship of the pamphlet The See also:Necessity for See also:Atheism. He was then sent to study See also:law at See also:York, where he remained for six months. Hogg's behaviour to Harriet Shelley interrupted his relations with her See also:husband for some See also:time, but in 1813 the friendship was renewed in See also:London. In 1817 Hogg was called to the See also:bar, and became later a revising See also:barrister. In 1844 he inherited 2000 under Shelley's will, and in 1855, in accordance with the wishes of the poet's See also:family, began to write Shelley's See also:biography. The first two volumes of it were published in 1858, but they proved to be far more an autobiography than a biography, and Shelley's representatives refused Hogg further See also:access to the materials necessary for its completion. Hogg died on the 27th of See also:August 1862.
