It's possible that you're thinking of James Hogg (1770-1835), who was a Scottish writer, poet, and novelist. He was known as the "Ettrick Shepherd" and is considered a key figure in the Romantic movement.
It's also possible that there's a different James Hogg you're thinking of, but without further context, it's impossible to say for sure. Could you provide more information about the publisher you're looking for?
