Some crumbs of information for Shelley students are to be found in a book which came under the hammer of Messrs. Puttick & Simpson on Wednesday last, and which is something of a curiosity, independently of what is written in it, in virtue of its extreme scarcity. It is a copy of Shelley's Edipus Tyrannus, published anonymously in 1820, and immediately suppressed-" stifled," says Mrs. Shelley, "by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, who threatened to prosecute it if not immediately withdrawn." At the top of the titlepage has been written, "Bought 16 Dec., 1820, M. G." The "20" has been cut off in binding, but 1820 must have been the year, to judge from the well-known facts of the case, and "M. G." would seem to have been, not Maria Gisborne, but some virtuous inhabitant of the Ward of Cheap, who bought this copy for purposes of warfare, for in the same handwriting is written all over the title-page the following note:

"This work was published by Johnson in Cheapside at the commencement of the Caroline Phobia; was bought by me, and presuming it to be highly libellous, some Inhabitants of the Ward determined to have it prosecuted in accordance to the resolutions of the Wardmote; it was, however, suppressed by the interference of Alderman Rothwell without coming before a Jury, the publisher giving up the whole impression, except 7 what [sic] he said was the whole number sold. He gave up as the Author (or at least his Employer) Smith, the

seven, and if Johnston and his intimidators were all
good men and true, there are now only three copies
to come to the surface, for this is the fourth known
to Shelley specialists. There are none in any of
the public libraries, except the copy in the Dyce
collection at South Kensington; Mr. Trelawny has
the second copy; I have the third; and this
fourth, a closely cropped one, was knocked down
to Messrs. Ellis & White, of Bond Street, for 251.
I believe no copy has ever come to the hammer
before, and it will not be surprising if no further
copy makes its appearance, for pamphlets of
twenty leaves are perishable things; and even if
some of the high-minded "inhabitants of the
Ward" followed the example of "M. G." in pre-
serving copies for their own reading (for " M. G."'s
copy is marked in the margin throughout), still
four copies would be a good percentage of sur-
vivors.
