But Shelley was mistaken, for the article was in fact written by Mr. Those who had celebrated with various degrees of complacency and panegyric Paris, and Woman, and A Syrian Tale, and Mrs. Lefanu, and Mr. Barrett, and Mr. Howard Payne. I presume that most readers of the present day are in the same position as I was myself that of knowing nothing about these performances and their authors.
"Say that we never give to beggars, under any circumstances," murmured Miss Susan, waking out of her lethargy. The servant entered with a scrap of crumpled paper in her hand. "There was a woman at the door who wished to see Miss Lefanu." "Say that we never give " Miss Susan began again, fumbling with the note. "Bunce, I have on my gold-rimmed spectacles, and cannot read with them, as you know.
As a supplement to the interesting communication of Dr. Parr, I shall here subjoin an extract from a letter which the eldest sister of Sheridan, Mrs. E. Lefanu, wrote a few months after his death to Mrs. Sheridan, in consequence of a wish expressed by the latter that Mrs. Lefanu would communicate such particulars as she remembered of his early days.
Nothing pleased Lady Morgan better in her old age, we are told, than to have it insinuated that there had been 'something wrong' between herself and Lord Abercorn. In January, 1810, Sydney writes to Mrs. Lefanu from Stanmore Priory to the effect that she is the best-lodged, best-fed, dullest author in his Majesty's dominions, and that the sound of a commoner's name is refreshment to her ears.
Of this book I have failed to find any trace in the Quarterly Review, or in the Catalogue of the British Museum. Mrs. Lefanu. Neither can I trace this lady in the Quarterly. Mrs. Alicia Lefanu, who is stated to have been a sister of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and also her daughter, Miss Alicia Lefanu, published books during the lifetime of Shelley.

As a public man, you have been, like the motto of the Lefanu family, 'Sine macula, and I am persuaded had you not too early been thrown upon the world, and alienated from your family, you would have been equally good as a private character. My son is eminently so. * "Do, dear brother, send me one line to tell me you are better, and believe me, most affectionately, "Yours,
"You force me to remind you," he said, "of a certain decree a decree of expulsion passed five years ago, and of which I presume due notification was given to you." Mr. Sabin shook his head very slowly. "I deny the legality of that decree," he said. "There can be no such thing as expulsion." "There was Lefanu," Lord Robert murmured. "He died," Mr. Sabin answered. "That was reasonable enough."
Lefanu, early in 1812, 'we have all the comfort and independence of a home.... As to me, I am every inch a wife, and so ends that brilliant thing that was Glorvina. N.B. I intend to write a book to explode the vulgar idea of matrimony being the tomb of love.
She is very patient under her sufferings, and perfectly resigned. She is well aware of her danger, and talks of dying with the greatest composure. I am sure it will give you and Mr. Lefanu pleasure to know that her mind is well prepared for any change that may happen, and that she derives every comfort from religion that a sincere Christian can look for."
