Percy Bysshe Shelley

“ Shelley say's that, if some one whom he designates as Jock (probably Robinson, the publisher of Zastrozzi) will not give him "a devil of a price" for his poem "and at least 60l." for his "New Romance in three volumes, the dog shall not have them." Perhaps we may pretty safely take this as a reference to St. Irvyne, and conclude that Mr. Robinson did not see his way to giving 60l. for the book ultimately published by Stockdale under circumstances discovered by Mr. Garnett in Stockdale's Budget, and made the subject of an article, Shelley in Pall Mall, in Macmillan's Magazine for June, 1860. ”

“ MacCarthy found in The Times for the 26th of January and 2nd of February, 1811, an advertisement of St. Irvyne opening with "The University Romance.—This day is published, price only 5s." St. Irvyne is a 12mo. ”
