Hogg, Jefferson Thomas - Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff (Published in by The Folio Society in 1952. Illustrated by Douglas Percy Bliss. In 1811 Jefferson Thomas Hogg wrote a picaresque novel, Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff. He published it anonymously, with the claim that it had been translated from Latin by a man named John Brown at Prince Haimatoff's request. The book did not sell very well. Later critics have noted a resemblance between Haimatoff and Percy Shelley. Shelley wrote a mostly positive review of the book published in The Critical Review in 1814, but he did criticise the author for promoting "promiscuous concubinage", apparently a veiled reference to Hogg's attempts to seduce his paramour Harriet Westbrook. )
