The wife of Lucan is said to have transcribed and corrected the Pharsalia after the death of her husband ; the tender mind of the wife had caught the energy of the bard by its intercourse ; and when he was no more, she placed his bust on her bed, that she might never close her ey. Es without being soothed by his image. The pic- ture of a literary wife of antiquity has descended to us, touched by the domestic pencil of a man of genius. It is the susceptible Calphurnia, the lady of the younger Pl...iny ; " her affection to me has given her a turn to books her passion will increase with our days, for it is not my youth or my person, which time gradually impairs, but my reputation and my glory, of which she is en- amoured. " Could Mrs. Hutchinson have written the life of her husband, had she not reflected from the patriot himself, all his devotedness to THE MATRIMONIAL STATE. the country, had she not lent her whole soul to every event which concerned him ? This female susceptibility was strong in the wife of Klop- stock ; our novelist Richardson, who could not read the Messiah in the original, was desirous of some account of the poem, and its progress.
