⁂ Jane Shelley's spiritualism. "Tuesday Oct 16th [1853] After lessons Percy, Madlle Kitty, went on shore - Floss & self remained to walk about the deck they returned late for dinner - devoted some few hours to spiritual drawing - this astonishes me more & more - read Swedenborg & letters on the character of Mary Wollestonecraft - Percy brought me a little paper knife & book keeper with a view of Mount Edgecumbe." - Jane Shelley.

Jane Shelley was intensely interested in spiritualism and spent a great deal of time practising automatic writing in which she would attempt to contact Mary Shelley who would give approbation to her own view of the Shelley's posthumous reputations.

Percy Florence Shelley was a keen sailor like his father, and was a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron. These cruises, mainly about the Mediterranean include visits to: Gibraltar, Messina, Naples, Palermo, Corfu, Athens, Constantinople etc.
