HUMPHRY WARD part of The History of David Grieve can doubt this ? — how much more successful has she been in depicting the aristocrat ? In her various stories of what our French friends call "' high life " she has given us a perfect gallery of likenesses of such astonishing verisimilitude that M. Firmin Roz says of them : " Je ne serais pas surpris quelles fussent des portraits. " ^ This is especially the case in Lady Rose's Daughter, where the characters of Lady Henry, Lord Lackington, Sir Wil...fred Bury and Meredith are presented with remarkable precision and truth. The heroine is indeed an inspiration from Julie de Lespinasse ; and Lady Henry doubtless a blending of Mme de Deffand with some English lady of title of similar disposition, and well known to the author ; but this fact in no way detracts from the excellence of the characterisation. Sometimes we think we can read history in her romances, as in The Marriage of William Ashe, which might be taken to be the story of Lord Melbourne, Lady Mary Lamb and Lord Byron ; or in Fenwick's Career, where many will see the career not of Fenwick but of Haydon the painter.
