She conducted, from 1849 to 1854, a journal called by her name, but gave it up from failing health. She enjoyed a pension of £100 on the Civil List till her death. She was the authoress of "The Old Arm-Chair" and "Home in the Heart," both of which were great favourites with the public, and did something for literature and philanthropy by her Journal.
