From The Literary Gazette, 24th December, 1836.
"Mrs. Somerville.
She has brought down beside the hearth
The secrets of the skies,
And made the far and mighty stars
Familiar to our eyes.
This has a woman done; and she
Is graceful, winning, mild;
And mingles with the sage’s lore,
The sweetness of a child.
In life‘s divine and common things
Alike she has her part;
The gifted and the glorious mind
Touched by the gentle heart."
