It's a smart move by someone who understand IP and book markets (at the time)
Get luck with one book.
Milk it.
Leave other books to be published 50yrs after death.
That covers both the IP law (50yrs from author death for his previously, milked novel) and the book market desire for posthumous works.
That's the best investment he could have left for his state.
... we're it not for the imminent death of publishing
