Maria Edgeworth is one of a constellati- on of female geniuses which now adomns England, and illumines the literary world. She probably holds an equal rank wiih Jane Yaylor,and is sccond only to Hannah Moore.~We are informed that a brother of her's, named Richard lovel Edgeworth, fike name also of their father) resided a w years since in Lancaster or Chester. field district in this state, (Soutn Carolina) and that his widow now lives in Ansen sounty, N. C. He appears to have been an imprudent and dissipated man, whom parental authority could not govern, nor sigterly affection restrain. Several of Ma- yia’s letters to him are now in possession of his widow, whois said to be a worthy end amiable woman, in straitened circum: stances. This faradly is more interesting to us, from the circumstance, that Maria Y.dgceworth is the daughter of the eclebrat- ed Henera Snacyd, (afterwards Mrs. E) who inspired the unfortunate Major Ander with a passion which she was not permii- qed to rewaid; and which is considered by eommon fame the cause of his having be come a soldier. The fact of this lady's being the mother of Miss Edgeworth, the reader will find authenticated in an appen- dix note to her admirable treatise on fe wale education, where she corrects an al- Jeged misrepresentation in Miss Seward’s{ March next.
