"Have not you some friend connected with the Pall Mall? I want to get some better notice of the 'Experiences of an Incurable' such as we might quote in an advertizement . . ."

He had a history of pamphleteering, contributing twice to Papers Relating to the Election of Beneficiaries to Charitable Institutions (Longmans, Green, 1874), and was the author of, e.g., Our Domestic Poisons: with an appendix on arsenical poisoning by wall-papers (Clowes, 1884). Jabez Hogg (1817-1890), ophthalmic surgeon and photographer, worked for The Illustrated London News. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 19M100038
