 date for a reputation founded on sensation- 

 alism or exaggeration. She was eminently 

 truthful, not only in her every word, but in 

 her entire modes of thought. Her nature was 

 singularly healthy. She was never led astray 

 by fantastic images. She was little known 

 in general society, but waa always a favor- 

 ite in the domestic circle, commanding hom- 

 age from men of intellect, and winning the 

 cordial friendship of persons of her own sex.

 there waa so little pretension in her man- 

 ners, so little that was exacting in her temper, 

 that she happily escaped the frequent rival- 

 ries of literary life, and numbered among her 

 wannest admirers many eminent persons whom 

 her generous nature prevented from becoming 

 envious of her fame,
