[2]See Medwin, vol. i. p. 68.
[3]He told Trelawny that he had been attracted to Shelley simply by his “rare talents as a scholar;” and Trelawny has recorded his opinion that Hogg’s portrait of their friend was faithful, in spite of a total want of sympathy with his poetic genius. This testimony is extremely valuable.
[4]It is probable that he saw her for the first time in January, 1811.
[5]See Shelley’s third letter to Godwin (Hogg, ii. p. 63) for another defence of his conduct. “We agreed,” &c.
[6]See Dowden’s Life of Shelley, vol. i. pp. 190-194.
[7]McCarthy, p. 255.
[8]It was published in Dublin. See reprint in McCarthy, p. 179.
[9]Reprinted in McCarthy, p. 324.
[10]Reprinted in Lady Shelley’s Memorials, p. 29.
[11]This and the next four pages have to be rewritten since the appearance of Professor Dowden’s Life. See Appendix.
[12]Leigh Hunt, Autob. p. 236, and Medwin, however, both assert that it was by mutual consent. The whole question must be studied in Peacock and in Garnett, Relics of Shelley, p. 147.
[13]See Letter to Godwin in Shelley Memorials, p. 78.
[14]Fraser’s Magazine, Jan., 1860, p. 98.

[16]Fraser, Jan., 1860, p. 102.
[17]How many copies were put in circulation is not known. There must certainly have been many more than the traditional three; for when I was a boy at Harrow, I picked up two uncut copies in boards at a Bristol bookshop, for the price of 2s.6d.a piece.
[18]See Note on Poems of 1819, and compare the lyric “The billows on the beach.”
[19]Medwin’s Life of Shelley, vol. i. 324. His date, 1814, appears from the context to be a misprint.
[20]Note on the Revolt of Islam.
[21]Letter from Florence, Nov., 1819.
[22]See Letter to Ollier, Jan. 20, 1820, Shelley Memorials, p. 135.

[38]These three documents will be found in vol. ii. p. 98; vol. i. pp. 424, 425.
