Excerpt from Heman's Poems

In 1816 the young wife published the Restoration of the Works of Art to Italy and Modern Greece, the latter marking a distinct step forward in her poetical career, though Byron at once detected in it an ignorance of the actual state of that country.

In I8I8 the death of the Princess Charlotte led to the composition at the really fine ode on her death which was published in Blackwood's April number of that year.

In the following year the young poetess gained a prize for the best poem on the meeting of Wallace and Bruce.
