Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eminent Persons, Vol. 2: Biographies Reprinted From the Times We regret to announce the death of Miss Martineau, who had just completed her seventy-fourth year. So far back as the year 1832, Miss Lucy Aikin wrote to Dr. Channing, "You must know that a great new light has arisen among Englishwomen"; and a still greater authority, Lord Brougham, remarked to a friend about the same time: - "There is at Norwich a deaf girl who is doing more good than any man in the country. You may have seen the name and some of the productions of Harriet Martineau in the Monthly Repository; but what she is gaining glory by is a series of illustrations of Political Economy in some tales published periodically, of which nine or ten have appeared. Last year she called on me several times, and I was struck with marks of such an energy and resolution in her as, I thought, must command success in some line or other of life, though it did not then appear in what direction. She has a vast store of knowledge on many deep and difficult subjects - a wonderful store for a person scarcely thirty years old; and her observation of common things must have been extraordinarily correct as well as rapid. I dined yesterday in the company of Mr. Malthus and Miss Martineau, who are great allies. She pursues her course steadily, and I hear much praise of her new tale on the Poor Laws. I fear, however, that it is the character of her mind to adopt extreme opinions upon most subjects, and without much examination.
