Though the world saw and heard little of Madame D'Arblay during the
last forty years of her life, and though that little did not add to
her fame, there were thousands, we believe, who felt a singular
emotion when they learned that she was no longer among us. The news
of her death carried the minds of men back at one leap, clear over
two generations, to the time when her first literary triumphs were
won. All those whom we have been accustomed to revere as
intellectual patriarchs, seemed children when compared with her;
for Burke had sate up all night to read her writings, and Johnson
had pronounced her superior to Fielding, when Rogers was still a
schoolboy, and Southey still in petticoats.
