(SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe.) The Hermit of Marlow. 'WE PITY THE PLUMAGE, BUT FORGET THE DYING BIRD.' An Address to the People on The Death of the Princess Charlotte. £ 600.00

(London. Thomas Rodd). ND. (Circa 1843). pp 16. 8vo. Stitched as issued. Browned throughout. Edges chipped, frail. Preserved in a custom built box covered in brown cloth with leather spine label. Wise p46. Rodd, 'when advertising the present pamphlet for sale [ ] asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author was said to have printed twenty copies in 1816.' Wise argues that this is the first edition. His main points are 'One thing is certain, and that is that had Shelley printed such a pamphlet he would not have restricted its circulation to twenty copies. The motto 'We pity the plumage, but forget the dying bird' was taken by Shelley from Paine's Rights of Man, 1817, Part 1, p.24. 'He [Burke] pities the plumage but forgets the dying bird'. This clearly denies any impression of the Address dated 1816.' Princess Charlotte dies in 1817.

SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe; WHISTLER, Lawrence. THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY with MANUSCRIPT POEM by Whistler. £ 200.00

The Complete Poetical Works edited by Thomas Hurtchinson. Oxford University Press. 1927. pp. xxiv, 912. Frontis. 8vo. Original red cloth, al edges gilt. Inscribed inside the front board in pencil, in her hand 'Helen Henschel 1931 from Lawrence Whistler.' Loosely inserted a long MS poem by Whistler in his hand and authenticated in Henschel's hand. Whistler's poem is entitled Shelley's boat. Transcript available on request. Lawrence Whistler is best known for his glass engraving but he was a published poet. His first book, 'Armed October' was published in 1932 and dedicated to Helen Henschel; 'The World's Room: Collected Poems' was published in 1949. 'Shelley's boat' would appear to be uncollected and maybe unpublished. Whistler was the first recipient of the King's Medal for Poetry but his glass engraving is far better than his verse. Helen Henschel was a musician and broadcaster and author of 'When Soft Voices Die', a biography of her father, Sir George Henshcel, singer, conductor and friend of Brahms. (Jim McCue)
