*This well-known writer was born in 1759. The place of her birth is uncertain, but is supposed to have been at a farm in Epping Forest. At an early age she engaged herself in the occupation of tuition, for which she was eminently qualified. Unhappily, her sentiments on religious subjects were most exceptional, and she had imbibed principles hostile to that system which has been long established for the regulation of civil society. It was well, therefore, that after a few years she declined the employment of tuition, and confined herself to her pen. Having a contempt for the institution of marriage, she entered into a connection with Mr. Imlay, an American merchant, whom she met at Paris in 1792, and made with him a tour in the north of Europe, of which she gave an account in an interesting volume of letters in 1796. In consequence of the desertion of this gentleman, she resolved upon destroying herself (having failed in the attempt a few months before); she went by water from London Bridge to Putney, and deliberately jumped off Putney Bridge in the month of October, 1795. She was baffled in her attempt this time; her clothes having buoyed her up, she was rescued by some watermen.

ments were perfectly in unison, and they both had so thorough a contempt for the rite of marriage, that it was only in consequence of her pregnancy, and the apprehension that she might incur that exclusion from the society of many valuable and esteemed friends which custom awards in cases of this kind, that they were induced to comply with that ceremony. In April, 1797, Mr. and Mrs. Godwin took a house in the Polygon, Somers Town, where on the 10th of September following Mrs. Godwin died, eleven days after having given birth to a daughter. She was the mother of the future wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet.
