Verlag: 6 Chapel Street Grosvenor Square London Letters to Hardy dated 27 and 31 September Letter to unnamed party dated 3 October 1839, 1839

Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
All three letters are on bifoliums, and they total 11pp., 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. They are all written by a secretary (for reasons made obvious below), and signed by Willoughby. ONE: To 'Sir John', 27 September 1839. 4pp., 12mo. He is sending him copies of his work, 'The one dedicated to Seamen and Sailors meant for Greenwich [i.e. 'Extracts from Holy Writ, and Various Authors, intended as Helps to Meditation and Prayer, principally for Soldiers and Seamen' (1839)] and every officer in it has got one and it is in the Libraries as also in the Library of Chelsea &c.' He explains that he has sent it 'to all the Magazines both for and against Government', and that 'it is at my own expense already nearly £100'. He has not 'read a line for the last three years and can only write a line now and then'. He has written 'to Admiral Sir Jahleel B. [i.e. Sir Jahleel Brenton (1770-1844)] to ask him what Naval Authors he knew of who had written religious books', and to his surprise was told that Brenton only knew of 'Newton and '. He hopes he will not be 'roughly handled by the reviewers', and is sending letters he has received from Aden and India. TWO: Addressed 'Dear Sir', 31 September [1839]. He has 'read with interest' his 'account of Sir T Hardy particularly his sounding at Copenhagen and James's detail of it has just been read to me'. He refers to letters from two 'clever fellows', reviews, and a note from 'Lieut. Hall'. 'I have none but one anxiety left which is the Times. Sir John Barrow when attacked about Admiral Hawkers business in his Letter to the Times spoke so highly of its great power that I am anxious to get a review from it'. The United Services Gazette 'spoke a word of my being a good Man to the best of my opinion I declare that I am not one though I go to Church every day & whether in the Street, riding or walking, or in my room am constantly repeating prayers that I have got by heart yet I find all this will not make me a good man though I try hard to be so'. He ends by reminding him of his promise to send 'Prince Eugene's prayer which I mean to put in my book'. THREE: To 'Sir John', 3 October 1839. 3pp., 12mo. He tells him not to trouble himself 'about looking for Prince Eugenes prayer for I shall not publish it with the different opinions of the reviewers in my work untill [sic] the first week of November or perhaps January.' He will not see him until after his paper comes out: 'I will shew you a very flattering review from the Captain General of the Navy or Senior one of Greenwich the Rev. J R Goldney'. He asks him for a favourable review and again discusses Brenton's statement on religious naval authors. Willoughby's 1850 obituary in the Annual Register notes that his career was 'a wonderful mixture of brilliant successes, heavy disasters, and wonderful escapes [] 'He was thrice shipwrecked; [] was two years in slavery at Tripoli [] was eleven times wounded with balls, thrice with splinters, and was cut in every part of his body with sabres and tomahawks; his face was disfigured by explosions of gunpowder, and he lost an eye and had part of his neck and jaw shot away [.] at Leipzig had his right arm shattered by a cannon shot. Amongst sailors in his day he was called "The Immortal;" at any rate, he seems to have possessed more lives than a cat, with all the courage of a British lion.'.

Erstausgabe
First edition, an "unmutilated" copy with title page and final leaf intact, and including the poetic dedication to Harriet Shelley. Copies in this state and in the original boards are extremely rare; we can trace only three copies offered at auction in almost half a century. This "unmutilated" state has always been preferred by collectors and has consistently fetched far higher prices than "mutilated" copies. The "unmutilated" state offers one of the most inflammatory title pages of the era. Knowing that only a very few would see it, Shelley was free to give vent to his revolutionary and atheistical fervour. The title carries a quotation from every freethinker's favourite Latin author, Lucretius, and Archimedes's aphorism in Greek: "Only give me a place on which to stand, and I shall move the whole world." Bolder yet was the cry "Ecrasez l'Infame!" from the Correspondance de Voltaire. Voltaire was referring to the established Church, but the Illuminists had adopted the same phrase as their motto to refer specifically to Christ. As Harriet Shelley wrote to a friend in Dublin (21 May 1813), "Do you [know] any one that would wish for so dangerous a gift?" Queen Mab was Shelley's most provocative poem and a key radical text in the early years of the 19th century. The entire edition comprised 250 copies, published by Thomas Hookham for private distribution by Shelley himself. Because of its radical contents, Hookham refused to put his name on the title page. As a publisher's name and address had to be provided by law, Shelley agreed to provide his own name and address on the title and terminal page. Fearful of prosecution, when Shelley distributed the copies, he cut away the title page and excised his name from the final leaf. As his marriage with Harriet broke down with his elopement with Mary Godwin after the summer of 1814, Shelley also removed from the copies he distributed the poetic dedication leaf to Harriet as "the inspiration of my song". This copy is consequently one of the copies which survived "unmutilated", without excision of Shelley's name or the dedication to Harriet. It was the radical publisher Richard Carlile who issued the remainder shortly after Shelley's death in 1822. This copy has a distinguished provenance. A pencil note states that it was "from the private collection of A. S. W. Rosenbach". Known as "the greatest bookdealer in the World", Dr Rosenbach (1876-1952) was "the terror of the auction room" and remembered as "the Pied Piper of rare editions". In his autobiographical volume Books and Bidders (1927), Rosenbach refers to several copies of Queen Mab which passed through his hands. Of one he notes, "I also trembled when first holding this Queen Mab in my hands". Louis H. Silver (190263), an American book collector, started collecting in the 1930s. After his death, his collection was acquired by the Newberry Library of Chicago, who sold a number of books regarded as duplicates at auction. This copy was at Sotheby's, 9 November 1965, lot 301, when it was acquired by John F. Fleming, the bookdealer. Abel E. Berland, a Chicago real estate lawyer, was a bibliophile and collector of rare manuscripts. This copy sold in his sale at Christie's, New York, 8 October 2001, lot 105. Granniss pp. 2835; Hayward 225; Wise, Shelley Library, pp. 3940. Octavo (198 x 118 mm). Original drab boards without spine label, as issued. Housed in a custom red morocco-backed folding box. Book labels of Louis H. Silver and Abel E. Berland on front pastedown. "Fairy" added to margin of page 35 (leaf D2) in a contemporary hand. Joints cracked; else a remarkably fine copy.
