woman struggling year after year with madness,
triumphant over it for a season, and then at last succumbing to it.
The saddest lines that ever were written are those descriptive of
this brother and sister just before Mary, on some return of
insanity, was to leave Charles Lamb. 'On one occasion Mr. Charles
Lloyd met them slowly pacing together a little foot-path in Hoxton
Fields, both weeping bitterly, and found, on joining them, that
they were taking their solemn way to the accustomed asylum.' What
pathos is there not here?"--_New York Times._
"This life was worth writing, for all records of weakness
conquered, of pain patiently borne, of success won from difficulty,
of cheerfulness in sorrow and affliction, make the world better.
Mrs. Gilchrist's biography is unaffected and simple. She has told
the sweet and melancholy story with judicious sympathy, showing
always the light shining through darkness."--_Philadelphia Press._

MARGARET FULLER will be remembered as one of the "Great
Conversers," the "Prophet of the Woman Movement" in this country,
and her Memoirs will be read with delight as among the tenderest
specimens of biographical writing in our language. She was never an
extremist. She considered woman neither man's rival nor his foe,
but his complement. As she herself said, she believed that the
development of one could not be affected without that of the other.
Her words, so noble in tone, so moderate in spirit, so eloquent in
