Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The North British Review, Vol. 4
I over whose sad story of unequalled misery prevent the tears of sensibility to ?ow, and no can sti?e the compassion of humanity at fallen greatness. What a long Iliad of woes was that life, chequered with self-implanted miseries - a life which blazed with so much lustre at its openin and went down amid such clouds of sorrow. The scene of rapi change passes before us with a speed that hides the connexion between each Act of a drama, where princes players, and the spectators the world. The proclaimed green of three great nations was, in a few little years, driven om her home in the noon-day of her youth and beauty, with cries of vengeance echoing in her ears, and a lon captivity and ominious death awaiting her at last. The col est nature, and t e most cynic philosophy, will admit that there is something touching in the story of a girl who had the warm affections of a kind heart, and all that we ever associate with human loveliness; whose errors were the result of no native depravity, but which met with so speedy and dreadful a reckoning.
