Ango-Irish novelist Sydney Morgan (1781-1859) took London by storm with
The Wild Irish Girl (1806), a paean of praise to Ireland. She became
the companion of the Marquess of Abercorn, who in 1812 arranged her
marriage to a surgeon, Sir Thomas Charles Morgan. As a married woman she
continued to produce verses, essays and novels, including O'Donnel
(1814) - considered her best novel - and France (1817), a breezy,
journalistic survey of French society and politics which drew criticism for its
praise of the French revolution. Ink note (unknown hand) at top. Lightly soiled.
Irregularly cut at bottom. Mounting adhesive shows through faintly along ¾-inch
strip on right and lower edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
