Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wanderings of a Beauty: A Tale of the Real and the Ideal
Although linked by no ties of kindred to the fair subject of this biographical sketch, the author may at least claim to have ]oved her with a love passing that of a sister - to have fully appreciated her rare endowments of mind and person, and, alas! To have had too frequent occasion to chide her girlish follies, and, in after life, to weep over her more womanly failings. Beauty has ever, and justly, been styled a fatal gift. F mm the classic Helen to the lovely and unhappy Mary Stuart, and in more modern times the matchless and queenly.
