Summary
This volume presents the correspondence associated with James Hackman and Martha Reay, whose story drew wide attention in 1779 and again after a later anonymous publication used altered versions of some of the letters. It also incorporates material connected with Thomas Chatterton, including his papers and a long inserted account of his life and writings, which later readers found unevenly fitted into the book. The work is linked to Sir Herbert Croft’s larger project of combining literary material with the Hackman-Reay affair.
