15.  POEMS. By Robert Browning.  In two volumes.  A new edition.  London:  Chapman and Hall, 186 Strand. 1849, pp. vii., 386; viii., 416.  These two volumes contain Paracelsus and Bells and Pomegranates.

16.  CHRISTMAS-EVE AND EASTER-DAY.  A Poem.  By Robert Browning.  London:  Chapman and Hall, 186 Strand. 1850, pp. iv., 142.

17.  Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley.  With an INTRODUCTORY ESSAY, by Robert Browning.  London:  Edward Moxon, Dover Street, 1852, pp. vi., 165.  (Introductory Essay, pp., 1-44.)

These so-called Letters of Shelley proved to be forgeries, and the volume was suppressed.  Browning’s essay has been reprinted by the Browning Society, and, later, by the Shelley Society.  See No. 58 below.  Its value to students of Shelley is in no way impaired by its chance connection with the forged letters, to which it barely alludes.

The two poems were printed by Miss Arabella Barrett, Mrs. Browning’s sister, for a bazaar in aid of a “Refuge for Young Destitute Girls,” one of the earliest of its kind, founded by her in 1854.
