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.
