The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner

James Hogg · Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, London · 1824

Trap: unsold first-edition sheets were reissued in 1828 with a cancel title as The Suicide's Grave; or, Memoirs and Confessions of a Sinner. A severely bowdlerized text appeared in 1837 (Tales and Sketches by the Ettrick Shepherd); the unexpurgated text was not reprinted until 1895 — later editions also omit the facsimile frontispiece.
