Lord Dorchester, however, did not leave his daughter alone, and
when a more complaisant suitor with a handsomer income offered
himself, briefly commanded her to marry him. To disobey such an
order was then the height of undutiful conduct; yet so great was
the disgust which Lady Mary entertained for the gentleman proposed
that she ventured to write to her father, offering not to marry at
all rather than to unite with him. The furious parent sent for his
daughter, and told her that she must marry him at once, or consent
to pass the rest of her days, while he lived, in retirement in a
remote part of the country. -from "Lady Mary Wortley Montagu" A
queen of society is a woman who, by force of her reputation, good
management, abilities, manners, and even her rank and fortune
commands a circle of persons of eminence, of fashion, and of
celebrity. So say "Grace and Philip Wharton"-a dual pseudonym for
one writer, British author KATHERINE BYERLEY THOMSON (1797-1862),
who also wrote the three-volume Memoirs of the Jacobites of 1715
and 1745-by way of introduction to this charming two-volume
collection of biographies of some of the most marvelous women of
their day. In Volume I we meet: Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough
Madame Roland Lady Mary Wortley Montagu Georgiana, Duchess of
Devonshire Letitia Elizabeth Landon Madame de S vign Sydney Lady
Morgan Jane, Duchess of Gordon First published in 1861, this is a
replica of the beautifully illustrated 1890 second edition. It will
delight readers of aristocratic lives and fans of modern
fabulosity.
