VIELBOURG (LOUISE-FRANCOISE DE HARLEY, MARCHIONESS DE).

No one was ever more esteemed or admired than this illustrious lady. She had a singular taste for the sciences, and was well versed in the Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages. To her literary talents, and extensive knowledge, she united every amiable virtue that can adorn a woman. We are ignorant as to the time of either her birth or death; but, we believe, she was living about the year 1615.

Mrs. Thicknesse.
