Note 263c — VIII. LORD ACTON’S LIST OF THE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS
Reading edition
Shelley’s Poetical Works should be read in the one volume issued in green cloth by the Macmillans, with an introduction by Edward Dowden, or in the Oxford Poets (Henry Froude), with an introduction by H. Buxton Forman, but perhaps the best edition is that of the Clarendon Press with an introduction by Thomas Hutchinson. Mr. Forman’s library edition of Shelley’s Complete Works is the desire of all collectors.
