Excerpt from Emmeline: With Some Other Pieces When she passed the bounds of mere childhood, the defects, under which her early education must otherwise have la boured, were remedied partly by a short residence at school in Edinburgh, and, still more, by the affectionate care of her father's sisters of whose kindness she entertained, through life, the most grateful recollection.
