| Description | She received Herschel's kind gift that morning and it is wonderful that he found time to translate the German poem ['Der Spaziergang'] into Latin with all his other pursuits. The weather has been cold and depressing, but she hopes to visit Herschel before too long. She asks for Herschel's acceptance of her new work 'Oswald of Deira', which she has bound in white as a souvenir of her niece's marriage to Mr. Ferrers. She hopes that the drama, based upon a passage from the life of her husband's ancestor, will be of interest. [Charles Forbes René] Montalembert, in his 'Monks of the West', has rescued the name of this hero from oblivion. |
