The British Library would appear not to have The Prisoner of Chillon; Parisina; The Island; Miscellaneous Poems; Cain; Heaven and Earth: & The Deformed Transformed. The Elkin Mathews 1930 Catalogue of Byron & Byroniana only has Sardanapalus and Kohler's 1980 Byron Catalogue has none of them. It would appear that Parisina, The Island, Miscellaneous Poems, Cain, & The Deformed Transformed are quiet rare, while the remaining pirate editions are scarce. This is not a complete set of Dugdale Byron printings, William St Clair in The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period shows one of Dugdales Advertisments for 1824 and that lists The Giaour, Hebrew Melodies, Don Juan, the 14 cantos, The Two Visions of Judgement, The Bride of Abydos, Parisina, Siege of Corinth, & Corsair.

Henry James was born 8th January 1835 in Manchester and sent to school in Essex and then to St Peter’s Collegiate School in Eaton Square, London. He was interested in the Theatre from childhood, although his parents first considered the Navy and then articled him to Miles Marley, a surgeon. He later studied under Dr Bradley, his Grandfather, in Buxton but hated it so much that he decided to become an actor. By 1858 his career as a hack writer was well established and at his death he left more than 100 published and unpublished dramatic works. See Walker - The House of Byron.
