An English poet; born in Chipstead, Surrey, July 6, 1765; died at Putney Heath, April 17, 1834. A lively fancy, brilliant wit, sound sense, and personal charm made this lady and her poetry admired in her own circle; but she rarely consented to publication, and only her riddle on the letter H, sometimes credited to Byron, is generally known, her stanzas not having been collected.
By Charles Dudley Warner
