Few people have heard of Martha de Havilland or her two literary works, "Sentiment Not Principle; or, An Old Man's Legacy.," and "An Outline of the History of Ancient and Modern Rome," published in 1840. "Sentiment Not Principle" tells the beautiful story of ninety-year-old Mr. Evans and his long-lost niece, Louise; his long-time neighbors, the Rivers and the Danvers, and the fascinating accounts of an unforgettable cultural and spiritual journey through the Mediterranean islands, the cost of Africa, France, Italy and other parts of Europe in early nineteenth-century. A memoir tale of great historical value, permeated with lyricism and reality. A singular, fascinating narrative. About the Author: Martha de Havilland was a British writer barely known as such outside her inner family circle. She published her first book as "M. de Havilland," and the second as "Mrs. Charles de Havilland"-signing the latter's preface by her initials, M. de H. She was born "Martha Saumarez," in Guernsey, Channel Islands, on September 5, 1797. She was the daughter of Richard Saumarez and Martha Le Mesurier, and the niece of Admiral James Saumarez, the 1st Baron de Saumarez. She married Major Charles de Havilland, son of Sir Peter de Havilland and Carterette Fiott, on October 7, 1819. She died on December 26, 1864 at age 67. From October 7, 1819, her married name became "de Havilland." She was the great-grandmother of British aviation pioneer and aircraft engineer Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, and of Oscar-winning actresses Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine.
