(Introductory Essay, pp., 1-44.)

These so-called Letters of Sh.e.l.ley proved to be forgeries, and the volume was suppressed. Browning"s essay has been reprinted by the Browning Society, and, later, by the Sh.e.l.ley Society. See No. 58 below.

Its value to students of Sh.e.l.ley is in no way impaired by its chance connection with the forged letters, to which it barely alludes.
