Femmes éminentes de l'âge : être des récits de la vie et des actes des femmes les plus importantes de la génération actuelle . Parton que j'ai pu obtenir de brèves ébauches biographiques, et les souvenirs et les impres-sions d'amis. Je ne l'ai pas fait au choix, après le responsable du critique, qui a fait de la règle de ne pas lire un livre avant de le revoir, par crainte d'être préjugé; mais être cause je n'ai jamais été aussi chanceux de traverser des orbites avec mon brillant, mais quelque peu erratique sujet. Sa vie a été tentée plusieurs fois ; en effet, les biographes littéraires semblent être sous l'imp

Her life hasbeen attempted many times ; indeed, literary biographers seemto be under the impression that the oftener this wonderfulwoman is repeated the better, to quote from the immortalToots. May that life have years enough and fame and pros-perity enough to justify many other sketches, worthier thanthis, before the coming of that Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history.

And this would be the answer, not simply on the groundof her varied and extensive learning; nor on that of heracknowledged poetic gifts; nor on that of her voluminouscontributions to our current literature, both in prose andverse; but rather, because with these gifts and this success, she had with singular kindliness of heart made her very life-work itself a constant source of blessing and joy to others.Her very goodness had made her great. Her genial good-will had
