RYVES (ELIZABETH),
An ingenious lady, born in Ireland of a respectable, but reduced family, and the small fortune she had was swallowed up in a law suit. In this exigence she had recourse to her pen for subsistence, and compiled some part of the Annual Register.
She also wrote a novel, intituled The Hermit of Snowdon, and translated several pieces from the French. She died in 1797.
