Small color halftone or black and white some full page illustrations to each page. Housed in the original green cardboard slipcase with the color illustration from page 61 on front panel. A tight bright and Fine copy of this generously produced volume.<br/><br/>"No more tastefully illustrated book of verse could be desired than the elaborately artistic edition of Shelley's Sensitive Plant edited by Mr. Edmund Gosse illustrated with much richness of coloring and gracefulness of design by Mr.<br/>Charles Robinson and imported by the Lippincott Co. Mr. Gosse's introduction throws new light on the ' Lady the wonder of her kind' who played the part of 'an Eve in this Eden ' where grew the sensitive plant. Drawing upon Medwin's notes to a never-published second edition of his life of the poet he tells us that this paragon of her sex was a certain Countess of Mountcashell an Irish lady about fifty years of age of sufficient unconventionality to be welcomed by Shelley and his company as a congenial spirit. The notes on this lady and the editor's gleaning of facts concerning the mimosa pudica or sensitive plant celebrated bythe poet are interesting. The illustrations large and small accompanying the slender thread of text form the conspicuous feature of the book and make it one of the most sumptuous gift volumes of the year. The cover design is a thing of beauty"The Dial 1911. William Heinemann/J.B. Lippincott Co unknown books

We Pity the Plumage but Forget the Dying Bird." An Address to the People on the Death of Princess Charlotte. By The Hermit of Marlow
London: Reprinted for Thomas Rodd Great Newport Street Compton & Ritchie Printers Middle Street Cloth Fair 1843. First edition. 16 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Sewn as issued. In half blue morocco slipcase and chemise. Fine. First edition. 16 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 'Liberty is dead!' - Political Tract by Shelley. According to Wise: "In 1843 when advertising the present pamphlet for sale Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author had printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed; no trace of it beyond Rodd's own statement has ever been discovered; and no mention of any kind either of its printing or distribution is to be found in the correspondence of Shelley or any of his friends. My own opinion is that no original ever existed that the private impression of twenty copies was a myth and that Rodd's so-called facsimile reprint of 1843 is in fact the actual princeps of the Address."<br/>Political essay arguing that the death of Princess Charlotte in childbirth was "a private grief" while the execution of three weavers for high treason in Derbyshire was a national tragedy.<br/>"The execution of Brandreth Ludlam and Turner is an event of quite a different character from the death of Princess Charlotte . It is a national calamity that we endure men to rule over us who sanction for whatever ends a conspiracy which is to arrive at its purpose through such a frightful pouring forth of human blood and agony . Liberty is dead!"<br/>Uncommon.

With the faintest hint of handling else a fine copy. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Jack Valenti 1921-2007 is best known in his long-time role as President of the Motion Picture Association of America from 1966 to 2004. During his 38 year position in the MPAA Valenti created the MPAA film rating system which is still used today. In 1963 Valenti was in the John F. Kennedy motorcade in Dallas and he is seen in the famous photograph of Lyndon Johnson being sworn in as President on Air Force One. Valenti flew back to Washington with Johnson and literally lived in the White House for two months helping Johnson take the reins of the presidency. He was the first special assistant to President Johnson and served at Johnson’s direction as a liaison to the Republican Congressional leadership. Hollywood mogul and Democratic fundraiser Lew Wasserman pressured Lyndon Johnson to let Valenti leave in 1966 to run the MPAA. A striking and articulate man who easily made friends Valenti became a figure of considerable influence in both Hollywood and Washington. Few people have known as many famous and powerful people as Valenti. Macmillan hardcover books

Edges slightly faded otherwise as new. § From the introduction: “This ode described as the most perfect of English lyrics illustrates Shelley’s superior gift of expression. In 1819 he also composed Prometheus Unbound cited as the most radiant of all Utopian visions and The Cenci greatest of the tragedies since Shakespeare. That these three poems each taking a supreme place among its own kind should have been produced by one man and in a single year of his life is one of the astonishing accomplishments of literary biography.†The L-D Allen Press unknown books

Full brown morocco covers ruled in blind and with gilt corner stamps backstrip with gilt titles and floral stamps in compartments gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers.

Granniss/Grolier Shelley 46. This copy has the distinction of being from the collection of Buxton Forman the famous editor of Shelley and Keats and the infamous creator of literary forgeries in partnership with Thomas Wise. The poem was first published with the title "Laon and Cythna; or The Revolution of the Golden City: A Vision of the Nineteenth Century" in 1817. Mary Shelley wrote of it: “He chose for his hero a youth nourished in dreams of liberty some of whose actions are in direct opposition to the opinions of the world but who is animated throughout by an ardent love of virtue and a resolution to confer the boons of political and intellectual freedom on his fellow-creatures. He created for this youth a woman such as he delighted to imagine—full of enthusiasm for the same objects; and they both with will unvanquished and the deepest sense of the justice of their cause met adversity and death.†Printed for John Brooks unknown books
