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

Collation as issued: 1 1 and C-D 2E Z 2A-2B U-Y 2F 2H all in 6s. 1 vols. 12mo 150 x 90 mm. But for 1824's Posthumous Poems this is the first selected poems of Shelley. This version reprints the poems from the earlier volume omitting the longer poems and translations but adding "Stanzas Written in Dejection near Naples" with the fifth line of the first stanza with the correct reading "earth" for "air" which did not appear in the authorized editions until 1870. In Watt's "Poetical Album" 1829 this line is entirely omitted. Only four copies of this edition have sold at auction in the last 35 years. It was through this work that Browning first became acquainted with his first poetic hero. Grannis 87 William Benbow unknown

1911BIBLIO-58960Privately Printed for William K. Bixby St. Louis first edition 1911. Limited edition of 250 copies printed for Bixby. 3 vols quarter-vellum and boards 25 cm. xvi 209 1 vii 187 1 vi 179 1 pp several plates. Bixby had bought the three notebooks edited here for some £3000 - he allowed the Bibliophile Society of Boston to publish them in an edition of 465 copies with a further 250 copies as here printed for himself. John Collins in 'The Two Forgers' notes that the books are "a triumph of Harry Buxton Forman's patient and dedicated editing" - the originals are chaotic as described here "Greek Latin Italian Spanish and English are all mixed up together and lines in one language often apear written directly or diagonally across other lines written in another language". Collins also notes that the books include a reminder of the "Mr Hyde side of Forman": the frontispiece 'portrait of Shelley' is in fact an unacknowledged copy of the Leonardo da Vinci head of Christ with slight alterations: "This confection was commissioned by Forman.presumably in silent mockery of the whole Shelley cult. The fraud was not published until 1947". Volume I has a signed presentation inscription from the publisher to Robert Underwood Johnson "with regards of W.K. Bixby St. Louis 11/14/11" and this volume is also numbered 164 and initialled by Bixby. Johnson was a founding member of the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association.
