Excerpt from Vignettes: Twelve Bibliographical Sketches
The remaining four - Mrs Winthrop, Miss Cor nelia Knight, Miss Bosanquet, and Mrs Delany were biographical reviews cast into the shape of a short story; the books are either well known or easily accessible.
The twelve women thus depicted, without any attempt at a connecting link between them, are as various in nationality, creed, habits of mind, and daily pursuits as can well be imagined. There is a moral in their utter dissimilarity which I leave to the intelligent reader; but of every one of them it may truly be said that they did worthy work in the world.
