Vignettes Twelve Biographical Sketches PDF Download

Excerpt from Vignettes: Twelve Bibliographical Sketches The twelve biographical sketches contained in this book were originally written for a periodical which I was engaged in editing; and only a few words are required as to the sources from which they were drawn. Three of the number are strictly original - Madame Luce, Madame Pape-Carpantier, and Mrs Jameson; and in the case of Madame Luce and Madame Pape-Carpantier, were composed from notes given to me by those ladies themselves. The five sketches of Madame Swetchine, La S ur Rosalie, Harriot K. Hunt, Madame de Lamartine, and Madame Mojon, are translated and abridged from books almost entirely unknown to the English public.
