Anglo-Irish art historian.

Said things about language:
"....we are not sufficiently careful to habituate children to the 
accurate use of words."

This is from her _Commonplace Book of Thoughts, Memories and Fancies_ 
(1855). The "commonplace book" is a totally forgotten genre -- or does 
it perhaps survive without the name?

She also spent two years in Canada (1836-1838), and wrote _Winter 
Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada)_, which sounds interesting.
