POSSONBY, CATHARINE,

Has written chiefly for the magazines and annuals. Her poetry exhibits tenderness of feeling, and the religious sentiment which always elevates the fancy. She has also written several prose works. "The Countess d'Auvergne; or, Sufferings of the Protestants in the Sixteenth Century," is a work of literary merit, and interesting in its displays of Christian heroism.
