Having written a large portion of his first publication (_Zastrozzi; a Romance_) by 7th May, 1809, Shelley had little leisure for 'scientific studies' between that date and the Christmas holidays of 1810-11. The literary aspirant during those twenty months worked successfully (in some of the cases, simultaneously) on (1) _Zastrozzi_; (2) _The Nightmare_; (3) _Original Poetry of Victor and Cazire_; (4) _St. Irvyne, or The Rosicrucian_, his second published romance; (5) _The Wandering Jew_; (6) The Verses to be regarded as the First Sketches for _Queen Mab_; (7) The _Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson_; (8) The very careful analysis of Hume's _Essays_ used in the composition of _The Necessity of Atheism_, that resulted in his expulsion from University College, Oxford; (9) A novel, described in the letter of 18th December, 1810, to Stockdale, as 'principally constructed to convey metaphysical and political opinions by way of conversation,' and (10) a novel (never finished) that was designed to give the death-blow to intolerance. With so many literary irons in the fire, he cannot have spent many half-hours in playing with the scientific instruments and apparatus that figured so conspicuously in his college rooms. During the same period, he found time for journeys to and fro between Field Place and Oxford; at least one stay of several weeks in London; a good deal of miscellaneous reading; much sentimental and sceptical correspondence, by letter, with Miss Felicia Dorothea Browne; much correspondence of the same nature with Miss Harriett Grove; long walks with Medwin in St. Leonard's Forest; long walks with Hogg in the neighbourhood of Oxford; and some participation in the field-sports, seldom altogether neglected by country gentlemen.
