An English reformer and miscellaneous writer, sister of James; born at Norwich, June 12, 1802; died at Ambleside, June 27, 1876. She visited this country in 1834, aiding the abolitionists, and traveled in Palestine and the East in 1846. She wrote a series of stories based on political economy (1832). Among her more important works are: "Society in America" (1836); "Deerbrook" (1839), a novel; "History of England during the Thirty Years' Peace" (1848); "Philosophy of Comte" (1853); "British Rule in India" (1857); "Biographical Sketches" (1869); etc. She labored under the remarkable disability of being all her life without the senses of taste and smell, and at 16 became very deaf.
