CHRONICLE OF FORTIGALL [FORTINGALL] MANUSCRIPT comprising 36 quarto pages, with two vellum leaves taken from a Latin mass book or similar acting as protective front and back cover, now bound into a leather volume, bearing 'Chronicle of Fortirgall M.S.' on the spine. The work was compiled at Fortingall, at the mouth of Glen Lyon in Highland Perthshire, near the eastern end of Loch Tay. It is written in several hands. Compilation took place between 1554 and 1579, although it may have begun earlier. One of the compilers records that he said his first mass in 1531, began to serve the curate at the church of Fortingall in 1532, and acknowledged the chief of the MacGregors. He may be the principal compiler, and further identified with Dubhghall (Dougal) MacGregor, on record as vicar of Fortingall in 1544. The authorial perspective reveals continuing Catholic allegiance, and hostility to the Scottish Reformation brought into law in 1560. The manuscript is a miscellany written in three languages: Latin, Scots and Gaelic.

Er schrieb Arbeiten über die Bewegung von Sonne und Mond und hat als erster das Fernrohr in Verbindung mit Meßgeräten verwendet" (Zinner, Astronomische Instrumente 280). - "On the death of Valentin Otho, Christmann inherited the entire library of G. J. Rheticus, which had been in Otho's keeping. This collection contained trigonometric tables more extensive than those that Rheticus had published in the Opus Palatinum of 1596 ... as well as the original manuscript of Copernicus' 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium'. The inclusion of instruments in the bequest stimulated Christmann to begin making astronomical observations. In 1604 he proposed to Kepler that they should exchange the results of their researches. Christman was the first to use the telescope in conjunction with such instruments as the sextant or Jacob's staff." (DSB). - Teils etwas gebräunt. Gutes Exemplar.

SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe (1792-1822). Queen Mab. London: W. Clark, 1821.8vo. With 1p. advertisement leaf at end. ORIGINAL BOARDS, original printed label to spine, uncut (some chipping with small losses to spine label, some light wear to extremities); quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Charles W. 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).

Provenance: John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge (1820-1894), great-nephew of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (signature on blank leaf, two annotations, initials at end, ALS from Edward Moxon tipped in); Frank T. Sabin (d.1915), London rare book and autograph dealer (ALS from Thomas Hookham with postscript in Sabin's hand); T. Tileston Wells (armorial bookplate); Louis V. Ledoux (1880-1948), American poet, George Edward Woodberry scholar, Japanese print collector (engraved bookplate).FIRST EDITION of this "ingenious forgery perpetuated by an impostor, claiming to be the son of Lord Byron. Two genuine letters, which happened to be in Moxon's hands, were included. The fraud was discovered, to the chagrin of Browning and Moxon, who at once destroyed all obtainable copies of the book" (Granniss/Grolier Shelley 127). [Bound in:] "Unpublished Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley," from Fraser's Magazine, March 1860. -- "The Coliseum. A Fragment." N.p., n.d. (with a footnote reading: "This is the fragment referred to by Capt. Medwin in the Memoir--see Athenaeum, p.503). Ashley V, p.92; Wise , p.74.WITH MANUSCRIPT MATERIAL FROM JOHN DUKE COLERIDGE, EDWARD MOXON & THOMAS HOOKHAM REGARDING THE FORGERIESTwo of the published letters include manuscript postscripts regarding the authenticity of those letters. 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." In a note on p.145, following Letter XXI, he notes the specific passages in the letter which led to the doubt of the volume as a whole. [Tipped in:] MOXON, Edward. 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

FROM THE COLLECTION OF CHARLES W. FREDERICKSON, and sold, his sale, Bangs, 29 May 1897, Lot 2353 (described as "badly stained")."MY PROMETHEUS IS THE BEST THING I EVER WROTE."Shelley writes to his publisher Charles Ollier (1788-1859) aboutPrometheus Unbound: "When the box comes, you may write a note to Mr. Peacock; or it would be better to call on him, and ask if my tragedy is accepted? If not, publish what you find in the box. I think it will succeed as a publication. Let 'Prometheus' be printed without delay. You will receive the additions, which Mrs. S. is now transcribing, in a few days. It has already been read to many persons. My Prometheus is the best thing I ever wrote."Shelley began writing his masterpiece Prometheus Unbound, in early September 1818, but stopped work on the poem following the death of his daughter Clara Everina Shelley later in the month. He began work on the poem again in early 1819, and had finished the majority of the poem by April of that year. He had the work transcribed in September 1819, and sent the manuscript for the first three acts to England in December 1819. The work was published by Ollier 1820, but Shelley found it to be full of printer's errors. Shelley also discusses future publications: "I mean to write three other poems, the scenes of which will be laid at Rome, Florence, and Naples, but the subjects of which will be all drawn from dreadful or beautiful realities... I am [also] preparing an octavo on reform, --a commonplace kind of book,-- which...I shall not trouble myself to finish for this season. I intend it to be an instructive and readable book, appealing from the passions to the reason of men." Published in: The Best Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shirley Carter Hughson, editor.
