First published in Original Compositions in Prose and Verse [...] (London: Edmund Lloyd, 1833), pp. 27-53; listed in the Contents as by "Mrs. Shelley".
Because that anthology was "published in 1833 'for the benefit of a family in reduced circumstances' (editor's note on dedication page), it appears that Mary Shelley was using her story to instruct the family in the disastrous effects of crime and the eventual triumph of virtuous and responsible love between mother and son." --Charles E. Robinson, 1976 collection "Notes", XV, p. 389 (viewed at Amazon)
