Excerpt from The Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, in Verse and Prose, Vol. 1 of 8: Now First Brought Together With Many Pieces Not Before Published The main Object of this edition of the Poetical Works of Shelley is to put within the reach of students and the public generally as near an approximation as may be to the text that the poet intended to issue. This is a more than ordinarily difficult task, - and not from any lack of materials, for there is a mass of material extant, astonishing when we consider the vicissitudes to which Shelley's works were subjected while he was alive and for some time after his death. The difficulty is in deciding what Shall be the authority for the text in each particular poem. In respect Of books seen through the press by himself, there ought to be no difficulty whatever, except as regards isolated words and stops; but unfortunately he did not revise while at press one half of the entire bulk of his poetry, several of the volumes having been printed in England while he was abroad, and read through the press by friends. AS regards the proportion of his mature works, from Alastor onwards, which had the advantage of his personal revision when in type, we should, I think, be making a liberal allowance if we.

Excerpt from The Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Vol. 6 of 8: In Verse and Prose; Now First Brought Together With Many Pieces Not Before Published [The note on vegetarianism beginning at p. 211 of Shelley's edition of Queen Mab was, after the issue of that poem in 1813, made the substance of a pamphlet of which the title-page is reproduced opposite. Internal evidence shews the pamphlet to have followed and not preceded Queen Mab. The alterations and additions are not very important; but the inclusion of this extremely rare and highly characteristic tract in the series of the Prose Works seemed more desirable than the plan of merely giving the variations with the notes to Queen Mab. The Vindication is a 12mo. pamphlet consisting of fly-title (as at back of this note), title-page as given in fac-simile opposite, pp. 1 to 39 of text, and pp. 41 to 43 of Appendix, As mentioned at p. 551 of the fourth volume of the Poetical Works (Library edition), there is a copy in the British Museum with the bottom of the title-page (including the date) torn off. The fly-title is also wanting. My own copy, from which this reprint is made, is perfect, and is the only one I ever saw or heard of beside that in the Museum. I believe this little treatise was reprinted as an Appendix to an American Medical work (Dr. Turnbull's Manual on Health, New York, 1835); but, not having been able to see a copy of this book, I cannot say whether the pamphlet or the Queen Mab note is there reprinted. - H.
