[The time at which the second Marlow pamphlet was written is ascertainable within a very few days. The Princess Charlotte died at 2.30 a.m. on the 6th of November, 1817: on the following day the executions which so roused Shelley took place. On the 12th Shelley wrote from Mabledon Place (Hunt's residence) an unpublished letter to Mr. Ollier, enclosing what he had "written of a pamphlet on the subject of our conversation of the other evening",—to be "sent to press without an hour's delay"; and he promised to send the rest of the MS. "before evening." He added "the subject tho' treated boldly is treated delicately." The reference is clearly to the Address, of which the title-page is given opposite as far as we know what it originally was. I am not aware of a copy of the original issue being extant; but there is an early reprint bearing at the back of the title the words Reprinted for Thomas Rodd, 2, Great Newport Street. From this reprint the pamphlet is here given. It is an 8vo. tract of two half-sheets "stabbed" together: it consists of title-page and pages 3 to 16 of text, in eleven numbered paragraphs as here given. It is printed in large type set closely, without head-lines, and having the pages numbered centrally. It would be rash to assume the reprint to be a fac simile of the original; but it has too much character, almost, to be a bad representation of it.—H. B. F.]
