An address to British females on the moral management of pregnancy and labour, and some cursory observations on medical deportment : Suggested by the death of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales: with a vindication of Her Royal Highness's physicians, Sir Richard Croft, Dr. Baillie, and Dr. Sims

In the wake of Princess Charlotte’s tragic death, a determined author addresses British women with a modest‑sized pamphlet that blends moral counsel and medical observation. Written in late‑1817, the work reflects the era’s intertwining of public grief, religious sentiment, and a growing concern for the safety of pregnancy and childbirth. Its tone is earnest and conversational, acknowledging both the sorrow surrounding the royal family and the practical need for better understanding of female health.

The address offers a candid look at early‑19th‑century attitudes toward obstetrics, defending the physicians who tended the princess while urging readers toward careful personal management of labour. Listeners will hear a snapshot of contemporary medical practice, gender expectations, and the social ripple effects of a single royal tragedy, making the text a valuable window into history, medicine, and the lived experience of women of the time.
