McCarty, who was then Miss Crabb, had run off one day with a young Ensign, who possessed not a shilling, and who speedily died, leaving his widow without property, but with a remarkably fine pair of twins, named Rosalind Clancy and Isabella Finigan Wellesley McCarty.
Wellesley, for example, with her women-presidents, and the heads of her departments all women but three, the professors of Music, Education, and French, has her peculiar testimony to offer concerning the administrative and executive powers of women as educators, their capacity for initiative and organization.

Early in 1809 the Spaniards were defeated with great slaughter at Ucles, Ciudad Real, and Medellin; Zaragoza was taken after another siege, and still more obstinate defence; and the national cause seemed more desperate than ever.
