1821SHELLEYP004351W. Clark London. 1821. Second unauthorised edition. The first edition of which were there were approximately 250 copies was privately printed by the author in 1813. The first regularly published edition did not appear until 1822 after Shelley's death under the imprint of the radical publisher Richard Carlile. Carlile had wanted to publish the poem in the first place but had been refused permission by Shelley his reason for doing so being that he did not want to be represented to the wider public by an immature work. Carlile's former employee William Clark was rather less scrupulous and both he and another piratical publisher William Benbow brought out editions in London and New York respectively. In his haste to take advantage of the poem's notoriety Clark printed the poem in various states and always without its secondary title A Philosophical Poem: With Notes; also he dropped the quotations from Voltaire Lucretius and Archimedes from the title-page. Clark's aim was strictly monetary whereas Carlile was politically motivated. Shelley sought to suppress the 1821 editions but because of a court ruling stating "that books liable to conviction for blasphemy or sedition were not entitled to legal protection" his hands were tied. The government stepped in and indicted Clark who after a court case spent four months in prison. Octavo. 183 pages with the rarely included 2-page dedication poem to Harriet Shelley's first wife which in this copy is placed at the rear in lieu of the advertisement leaf found in the majority of copies - in some copies poem appears after the title-page. In most copies it doesn't appear at all. Original grey paper boards. Early ownership signature on front pastedown. Covers worn and defective at head and tail of spine and split at the hinges. Endpapers spotted. Good. Preserved in a slightly rubbed full leather book-form slipcase with raised bands gilt rules and burgundy leather title-label and black leather author label. W.

1818184058London: John Murray 1818. The author. often leaves us in doubt whether he is not as mad as his hero First edition of the first review notoriously scathing of Frankenstein. Croker a serial foe of young Romantics and Jacobins condemns the presumed male author and damns the novel as "a tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity". He continues by noticing that the novel "is piously dedicated to Mr Godwin and is written in the spirit of his school. The dreams of insanity are embodied in the strong and striking language of the author notwithstanding the rationality of his preface often leaves us in doubt whether is is not as mad as his hero. Mr. Godwin is the patriarch of a literary family whose chief skill is in delineating the wanderings of the intellect and which strangely delights in the most afflicting and humiliating of human miseries. His disciples are a kind of out-pensioners of Bedlam and like 'Mad Bess' or 'Mad Tom' are occasionally visited with paroxysms of genius and fits of expression which make sober-minded people wonder and shudder." Octavo 211 x 131 mm pp. vi 554; the review is on pp. 379-85. Contemporary diced russia spine lettered in gilt with volume number blue marbled sides brown speckled edges. Joints with superficial split but holding firm minor rubbing light foxing to contents. A very good copy. unknown
1826AQ31162London: William Benbow 1826. 2 144pp. With an engraved frontispiece. Later full calf ruled in gilt and blind contrasting black morocco lettering-piece. Marbled endpapers. Lightly rubbed and marked upper board sunned. Bookplate of John A. Radford to FEP leaves browned and stained title and frontispiece chipped and small marginal loss to upper edge of terminal leaf. An early pirated edition of Shelley's poetry one of many publications produced by radicals and Reformists to spread Shelley's poetry affordably to a working-class audience. As such the typesetting is far from perfect with the running title being inverted on one occasion. The collection contains mostly shorter lyrics particularly sonnets dirges and other songs as well as multiple fragments. William Benbow 1787-1864 was linked to the piracy of Shelley as early as 1815 due to his association with George Cannon pseudonym Erasmus Perkins editor of the Theological Enquirer a periodical which reprinted substantial portions of Queen Mab. A nonconformist preacher and major figure of the Reform Movement Benbow was imprisoned several times for alleged political and publishing offences but never charged. . 8vo. William Benbow unknown
18214025London: W. Clark 1821 1821. 8vo. 230x140mm. pp. 182 2.

Original drab boards backed with green cloth remains of paper label on joints. Corners worn and edges a little rubbed boards marked in places. Hinges cracked with some loosening. Slightly foxed but otherwise very good internally. Front pastedown has booklabel of Christopher Clark Geest. First published in a small edition with a dedication to Harriet in 1813 Queen Mab was then printed twice without Shelley's permission in 1821. This copy is the version with the notes printed in full and with the dedication removed. It also has the final advertising leaf and some intentionally missing words on pp146-148. A scandalous work published scandalously "pounced upon" by the Society for the Prevention of Vice and resulting in the imprisonment of Clark the printer and bookseller. It also led to Shelley's radical ideas on subjects including vegetarianism and atheism being openly discussed in the public forum. Always dangerous. Granniss 19. London: W. Clark 1821 hardcover

1843400585London: "Reprinted for Thomas Rodd" 1843. First edition. Fine. 8vo. Gatherings stitched; red morocco slipcase. According to Wise: "In 1843 when advertising the present pamphlet for sale Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author had printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed; no trace of it beyond Rodd's own statement has ever been discovered; and no mention of any kind either of its printing or distribution is to be found in the correspondence of Shelley or any of his friends. My own opinion is that no original ever existed that the private impression of twenty copies was a myth and that Rodd's so-called facsimile reprint of 1843 is in fact the actual princeps of the Address" Ashley V p.64. Granniss Shelley pp.43-44; Wise Shelley p.46. <br/><br/> "Reprinted for Thomas Rodd" unknown books
