This accomplished woman wrote a number of useful and educational tales, for which the children of many generations owe her a debt of gratitude. Her Frank, Rosamond, Harry and Lucy, Moral, Popular, and Fashionable Tales, Patronage, Belinda, Harrington and Ormond, etc., are all written with a purpose of instruction that is admirably carried out. Her last and most beautiful story, Helen, shows the wretched consequences of departing from truth.
