GUESNERIE (MADEMOISELLE DE LA), very highly distinguished for her learning and literary talents.

Composed a work, Memoires de Milady B. which has been attributed to Madame Ricoboni; but its real author was Mademoiselle de la Guesnerie, a native of Angers, whose stile and sentiment is equal to any of her predecessors or cotemporaries; and her manner of writing is such, as would almost make converts of those who do not in general admire that line of literature.

Mrs. Thicknesse.
