Excerpt from An Examination of Hogg's Life of ShelleyThe articles on S leelley at xfora' were published, as I have said, in 1832 and 1833. It had long been Mary Shelley's desire to write the life of her husband, but this intention was thwarted by the ill-will of the implacable Sir Timothy, who, as Mrs. Shelley stated in a letter of 1 838, forbade biography underla threat of stopping the supplies. In 1844, the death of Sir Timothy relieved her of this prohibition; but a still more fatal obstacle now arose in the form of a serious illness, from which she never wholly recovered. She died in 1851 and a few years after her death, Sir Percy and Lady Shelley entrusted thebiographical materials to the charge of Hogg, a gentlemen (to quote Lady Shelley's words) whose literary habits and early knowledge of the poet seemed to point him out as the most fitting person for bringing them to the notice of the public. Unfortunately the Shelley family, in their guileless confidence in Hogg's biographical qualities, neglected to stipulate that the proof sheets should be submitted for their approval.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

BiblioLife

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
