THE EDGEWORTHS.
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
