[SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE.] "We Pity the Plumage but Forget the Dying Bird." An Address to the People on the Death of the Princess Charlotte by the Hermit of Marlow. 16 pages. 8vo, later paper wrappers with bookplate of Harry Bache Smith, disbound; contents stitched to thick paper spine support, glue and paper remnants on spine from wrappers, cover foxed and browned, few minor chips, upper outer corner of pages creased, one-inch clean tear to top margin. [London: Thomas Rodd, circa 1843]
Considered the first and only printing of an address in which Shelley argues that the sad death of Princess Charlotte in childbirth was publically exaggerated and that the execution of three weavers in the Peterloo Riot for high treason was a far greater tragedy.
