Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Political and Social Letters of a Lady of the Eighteenth Century: 1721-1771
Also, Mrs. Osborn's relationship to the unfortunate Admiral Byng necessarily involves the introduction of that sad event in her life; and though his story is a familiar one to all readers of history, it never grows stale by repetition, and an additional interest will be given to the subject by the insertion of some letters connected with it, which have never before been published.
Mrs. Osborn, who was by marriage a great-niece of the now well-known Dorothy Osborne, was a woman of unusual capacity and energy, and the exceptional circumstances of her life were calculated to develop her powers to the uttermost.
