[300] Six months later, December 6, 1812, Hunt addressed a letter to Lord Ellenborough on the same subject in regard to his own sentence. [301] June 11, 18, 25, July 2, 9, August 27, September 3, 10, October 1, 8, 15, 22, December 3, 10, 17; in 1821, February 4, August 12, 19, and September 9. The last three articles were written after the Queen's death. [302] Keats's _The Cap and Bells_ deals with the same. [303] Shelley gave directions that the poem should be printed like Hunt's _Hero and Leander_. _Works of Shelley_, III, p. 101. [304] _Works of Shelley_, VIII, p. 116; August 15, 1819. The letter instructs Hunt to throw the poem into the fire or not as he sees fit and requests him, in preference to Peacock, to correct the proofs. "Can you take it as a compliment that I prefer to trouble you?" [305] Forman wrongly attributes the review of Reynolds' _Peter Bell_ in _The Examiner_ of April 25, 1819, to Hunt and says that this "flippant notice" by Hunt inspired Shelley's poem. _Ibid._, II, p. 288. Reynolds asked Keats to request Hunt to review his poem. Keats did it himself. (Keats, _Works_, III, pp. 246-249.) [306] _Works of Shelley_, III, p. 235. [307] Hunt, _Correspondence_, I, p. 116, 141; April 24, 1818, and September 6, 1819. Cf. with _Works of Shelley_, VIII, p. 121; September 3, 1819. (Editor says dated wrongly.) [308] _Works of Shelley_, VIII, p. 127; September 27, 1819. [309] _Correspondence_, I, p. 123; August 4, 1818. [310] "You will see Hunt--one of those happy souls Which are the salt of the earth, and without whom This world would smell like what it is--a tomb; Who is what others seem; his room no doubt Is still adorned by many a cast from Shout, With graceful flowers tastefully placed about, And coronals of bay from ribbons hung, And brighter wreaths in neat disorder flung,-- The gifts of the most learned among some dozens Of female friends, sisters-in-law and cousins. And there he is with his eternal puns, Which beat the dullest brain for smiles, like duns Thundering for money at a poet's door; Alas! it is no use to say 'I'm poor!'" [311] Mr. Forman thinks that it may be part of the original draft of _Rosalind and Helen_; if so, it is still a very close approximation of Shelley's opinion of Hunt (_Works of Shelley_, III, p. 403). William Rossetti and Felix Rabbe think that it was addressed to Hunt. [312] Wise's edition of _Adonais_, p. 2. London, 1887. [313] To his wife. _Works of Shelley_, VIII, p. 288; July 4, 1822. [314] Nicoll and Wise, _Literary Anecdotes_, p. 350; April 5, 1820. [315] Hunt, _Correspondence_, I, p. 136. Professor George Edward Woodberry says that Shelley had the "kindest feeling of gratitude and respect ... but nothing more" towards Hunt. (_Studies in Letters and Life_, p. 153.) [316] _Ibid._, I, p. 158. November 11, 1820. _Works of Shelley_, VIII, p. 150; November 23, 1819.
