This volume constitutes the first collected edition of Keats and only the second collected works of Coleridge & Shelley although only volume 1 issued in 5 parts of the 1826 edition of Shelley's works was issued and the edition was not completed and contains works published here for the first time from all three poets. Each poets work is preceded by a short life of the author. The memoir of Keats is by Leigh Hunt. Although Keats' literary executor Charles Armitage Brown disliked Hunt's portrayal of his friend his own account of Keats life was not ready in time for this edition and would not see publication for another 108 years in 1937. He did however send some unpublished poems in his possession for inclusion in the volume. The memoir of Shelley was written by Mary Shelley who also helped the publication of this edition by allowing the publisher access to his papers. Although this volume was published by the Galignanis in Paris avoiding the British copyright and meaning no royalties would be due they did have the co-operation of family members and literary friends of all three poets when assembling this impressive volume.;. 1268602.

A superb example. From the library of William A. Foyle with his bookplate on front pastedown.<br/><br/>"It would be difficult indeed to over-estimate the gains which have accrued to the lovers of Shelley from the strenuous labours of Mr. Harry Buxton Forman C.B. He too has enlarged the body of Shelley's poetry Mr. Forman's most notable addition is the second part of The Daemon of the World which he printed privately in 1876 and included in his Library Edition of the Poetical Works published in the same year.but important as his editions undoubtedly are it may safely be affirmed that his services in this direction constitute the least part of what we owe him. He has vindicated the authenticity of the text in many places while in many others he has succeeded with the aid of manuscripts in restoring it. His untiring industry in research his wide bibliographical knowledge and experience above all his accuracy as invariable as it is minute have combined to make him in the words of Professor Dowden ‘our chief living authority on all that relates to Shelley's writings.' His name stands securely linked for all time to Shelley's by a long series of notable words including three successive editions 1876 1882 1892 of the Poems an edition of the Prose Remains as well as many minor publications—a Bibliography The Shelley Library 1886 and several Facsimile Reprints of the early issues edited for the Shelley Society" Oxford Edition of The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley.<br/><br/>Granniss 89.

Kennedy motorcade in Dallas and he is seen in the famous photograph of Lyndon Johnson being sworn in as President on Air Force One. Valenti flew back to Washington with Johnson and literally lived in the White House for two months helping Johnson take the reins of the presidency. He was the first special assistant to President Johnson and served at Johnson’s direction as a liaison to the Republican Congressional leadership. Hollywood mogul and Democratic fundraiser Lew Wasserman pressured Lyndon Johnson to let Valenti leave in 1966 to run the MPAA.

Granniss/Grolier Shelley 46. This copy has the distinction of being from the collection of Buxton Forman the famous editor of Shelley and Keats and the infamous creator of literary forgeries in partnership with Thomas Wise. The poem was first published with the title "Laon and Cythna; or The Revolution of the Golden City: A Vision of the Nineteenth Century" in 1817. Mary Shelley wrote of it: “He chose for his hero a youth nourished in dreams of liberty some of whose actions are in direct opposition to the opinions of the world but who is animated throughout by an ardent love of virtue and a resolution to confer the boons of political and intellectual freedom on his fellow-creatures. He created for this youth a woman such as he delighted to imagine—full of enthusiasm for the same objects; and they both with will unvanquished and the deepest sense of the justice of their cause met adversity and death.†Printed for John Brooks unknown books
