First edition of these two complementary studies of Shelley both focusing on his psychosexual nature. Carpenter in the first part of the book is "impelled to conclude that the poet's nature was really intermediate or double in character -- INTERMEDIATE as between the masculine and feminine or DOUBLE as having that twofold outlook upon the world. The time has gone by when a remark of this kind could be interpreted as derogatory." In the second part Barnefield brings forward "considerable positive evidence from Shelley's life and writings to show that in him was a strangely double nature and that there was certainly a homosexual COMPONENT in his make-up."

1860ref. 50276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown books

Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans.

Carpenter's correspondent was the wife of police magistrate and author John Paget. On the death of his mother-in-law: I feel sure that you will be sadly interested in learning that we received two days ago the unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Powell which took place quite suddely on the night of the 30th. She had been failing for some time and seemed to suffer much from disappointment in regard to the affair of the pension having a great wish to be independent of the assistance of her friends and strongly desiring that her father's service to the nation should be acknowledged . . . There was not the least indication of suffering quite the contrary . . . So that I quite believe that she must have passed from the unconsciousness of sleep into that of death. For her and for all those who were interested for her I am satisfied that this will be felt the most desirable termination . . . . unknown books

1879ref. 41099London 1879. Carpenter William B. 1813-85. Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget 1811-98. London 56 Regents Part Rd. N.W. June 2 1879. 4pp. 178 x 114 mm. A few tiny pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's letter which discusses a false confession to murder made by a mentally unbalanced young man reads in part as follows: Dear Mr. Paget In turning out my papers at the University today I have come upon a document which I forward to you containing the Father's statement of his Son's relation to the "Brompton Murder" case with full particulars of the latter's confession and its inconsistency with the facts. I believe that I did not send in this to the Home Secy.; but that what I specially urged upon him was the evidence with which Knowles had supplied me of the "cracky" nature of the youth's mind and of the obviously hereditary tendency to brood as shown in the father and aunt-the latter an old servant of Knowles. And I remember also that there was evidence of the youth having had money in the Savings Bank and of his having drawn out a pound just before the Crystal Palace Police Fête. This altogether made so strong an impression on Mr. Bruce that he at once commuted the sentence; and the family were so sensible that the lad was not fit to take care of himself that they expressed no disappointment at his not having received a free pardon. . . . Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget whose Paradoxes and Puzzles published in 1874 included accounts of a number of sensational crimes. We have not been able to identify the murder case to which Carpenter refers in his letter. . unknown books

2023ref. 2342694New York: William Morrow 2023. Revised and Expanded Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 5x1x8. New. Revised and expanded edition. An exceptional copy. 2023 Hard Cover. xii 708 pp. The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world's greatest storytellers now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters with revealing new insights into The Hobbit The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. J.R.R. Tolkien creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion was one of the most prolific letter-writers of the last century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters - to his publishers to members of his family to friends and to "fans" of his books - which often reveal the inner workings of his mind and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events. A selection from Tolkien's correspondence collected and edited by Tolkien's official biographer Humphrey Carpenter and assisted by Christopher Tolkien was published in 1981. It presented in Tolkien's own words a highly detailed portrait of the man in his many aspects: storyteller scholar Catholic parent friend and observer of the world around him. In this revised and expanded edition of The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien it has been possible to go back to the editors' original typescripts and notes restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a "publishable length" and present the book as originally intended. Enthusiasts for his writings will find much that is new for the letters not only include fresh information about Middle-earth such as Tolkien's own plot summary of the entirety of The Lord of the Rings and a vision for publishing his "Tales of the Three Ages" but also many insights into the man and his world. In addition this new selection will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing of which J.R.R. Tolkien was a master. William Morrow hardcover books
