At the same time Mary was writing about eminent French writers, she was finally able to compile her husband’s work and poetry into four volumes as Sir Timothy (Percy’s father) lifted his prohibition of publishing Percy Bysshe Shelley’s work. Mary accomplished both enterprises beautifully even though her health began to decline during this period.

Mary’s last book, an account of summer tours on the Continent with her son Percy Florence and his college friends, was published in1844. By then she was in ill health, and in 1848 she began to suffer what were, apparently, the first symptoms of the brain tumor that eventually took her life.
