Synopsis
Excerpt from Queen Mab: With Notes
Ir intellectual powers of the first order, if a disinterest odnaes that was pushed almost to generous romance, if social virtues that endeared him to every one with whom he came in contact, if purity of heart and sweetness ofteml per and uprightness of life - ir these entitle to a place among the amiable and the gifted and the noble-hearted, that place belongs to Pnacr Brasnn shelley. Born and educated amidst the aflluences of British aristocracy, cradled (so to speak) in orthodoxy and conformity and titled privilege, he was a democrat and a heretic. His father; Sir John Shelley, disinherited him on account of his opi nions, or rather of his honesty in expressing them and the world continued a persecution against him for the same heinous crime; a persecution which did not terminate with his death, but pursued even the memory of one, whom mankind in the mass were too hypocritical to applaud, or perhaps too gross to appreciate. He was arraigned and convicted of heterodoxy; and that was enough Jus tiry, in the world's eyes, the murder of his reputation.
