H. R. H. The Princess Sophia Copied from the Windsor Article in 'The Morning Herald' of July 2nd 1840 "Intelligence reached here, last evening of the serious & alarming illness of [[underline]] The Princess Augusta; [[/underline]] & the accounts which arrived from town this morning induce the inhabitants of this Town (amongst whom H.R.H. has so long resided, & where her charity has been as unostentatious as her benevolence has been unbounded to fear the worst. Most truly may it be said (with Rowe) of this illustrious female -- "How few like thee, inquire the wretched and, And court the offices of soft humanity. Like [[underline]] thee [[/underline]], reserve their raiment for the naked, Reach out their bread to feed the crying orphan, Or mix the pitying tears with those that weep."
