Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Characteristics of Women, Vol. 1 of 2: Moral, Poetical, and Historical; With Fifty Vignette Etchings
When the first edition was sent to press, the author contemplated writing the Life of Mrs. Siddons, with a reference to her art; and deferred the complete developement of the character of Lady Macbeth, till she should be able to illustrate it by the impersonation and commentary of that grand and gifted actress; but the task having fallen into other hands, the analysis of the character has been almost entirely re-written, as at first conceived, or rather restored to its original form.
