Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, Vol. 36: Sept. To December, 1855 Lady Holland's memoir, too, is right pleas ant reading. We cannot regret that even friends like Moore and Jeffrey were unable to undertake what a daughter has so edmir ably accomplished. This biogra by is char acterized by good sense and goo taste.
