1910BOOKS007674250 pages with frontispiece. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 3/4" bound in quarter vellum with gilt lettering to spine over brown boards. Edited by Richard Garnett. Limited edition 483 copies.<br /><br />Thomas Love Peacock was an English novelist poet and official of the East India Company. He was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley and they influenced each other's work. Peacock wrote satirical novels each with the same basic setting: characters at a table discussing and criticizing the philosophical opinions of the day. In 1812 Peacock published another elaborate poem The Philosophy of Melancholy and in the same year made the acquaintance of Shelley. He wrote in his memoir of Shelley that he "saw Shelley for the first time just before he went to Tanyrallt" whither Shelley proceeded from London in November 1812 Hogg's Life of Shelley vol. 2 pp. 174 175. Thomas Hookham the publisher of all Peacock's early writings was possibly responsible for the introduction. It was Hookham's circulating library which Shelley used for many years and Hookham had sent The Genius of the Thames to Shelley and in the Shelley Memorials pp. 38 40 is a letter from the poet dated 18 August 1812 extolling the poetical merits of the performance and with equal exaggeration censuring what he thought the author's misguided patriotism. Peacock and Shelley became friends and Peacock influenced Shelley's fortunes both before and after his death. <br /><br /><b>Condition: </b>Corners bumped soiled book plate removed from front paste down else very good.
