Frederickson (1823-), noted Shelley collector (bookplate with manuscript date of acquisition, May 1858, his sale, Bangs & Co., 24-28 May 1897, Lot 1568, a few pencil notes in his hand). PIRATED FIRST EDITION, thin paper copy, issued without the dedication to Harriet *****, but this copy with the dedication leaf supplied and laid in (purportedly from a copy of the 1822 Carlile edition). Queen Mab was first privately printed in 1813. This pirated edition of 1821, printed by R. Clark, precedes the first authorized edition, which was composed of the remaining sheets from Clark's edition and issued with a new title-page by Carlile in 1822. When Shelley learned of Clark's unauthorized edition, he protested the piracy; Clark appeared before the Court of King's Bench on 23 June and pleaded not guilty to publishing an "indecent, immoral and scandalous poem." According to Geroge Goodspeed, "His trial did not take place until late in the following year, but the book appears to have been suppressed, nominally at least, very soon after its publication" (See The Colophon, New Graphic Series, No. 1, p.25-32, 1939).

In "The 'First American' Queen Mab," George Goodspeed notes: "The suppression of Clark's edition of Queen Mab[see previous lot] left the field open to another publisher. Demand had been stimulated by the controversy and the source of supply had been cut off. Benbow was nothing if not an opportunist" (SeeThe Colophon, New Graphic Series, No. 1, p.25-32, 1939).Property from Historic Sengen House, Cornwall-on-Hudson, New YorkFor condition inquiries please contact Gretchen Hause at gretchenhause@hindmanauctions.com

On p.66, following Letter V, he writes: "This letter was printed in the Memoirs of Shelley...in the volume of Coleridge, Shelley & Keats...as early as 1833."

Autograph letter signed to Coleridge, n.d. 2 pages, 8vo. Moxon discusses the manuscripts which served as the basis for this work: "The important fact respecting Letter 5 I will immediately communicate to Mr. Cunningham, the writer of the article in the Athenaeum. I may mention it is the decided opinion of Mr. Hookham, who knows more of Shelley's private history than any one else, that the whole of the letters are genuine. ...My own impression is that the letters which I purchased at Sotheby's are not in Shelley's hand writing, but with perhaps two or three exceptions copies of genuine letters."[Laid in:] HOOKHAM, Thomas. Autograph letter signed to Frank T. Sabin, 9 October 1882. With a post-script in Sabin's hand. 5pp., 8vo. "You ask me respecting the authenticity of a Letter from Shelley to my Father, which is included in the volume of 'Letters of P. B. Shelley, edited by Robert Browning,' and published about 1850. This volumes has long been condemned as spurious, and all the letters indiscriminately pronounced forgeries. All I can say is that the single one addressed to my Father is not so...The letter itself is an unimportant one, and he did not deem it worthwhile to make public his guarantee of the fact. It might naturally lead to the inference that there may be others in the volume equally genuine, but on this point I will not pressure to pass an opinion."Property from Historic Sengen House, Cornwall-on-Hudson, New YorkFor condition inquiries please contact Gretchen Hause at gretchenhause@hindmanauctions.com
