ADAMS. SARAH FLOWER,
Was the youngest daughter of Benjamin Flower, an English political writer and reformer, residing in Cambridgeshire. Mrs. Adams was a true poet; she wrote occasional criticisms, which display much acuteness of intellect; but her soul was breathed forth in her devotional lyrics. She died in August 1848, and one of her own beautiful hymns was sung over her grave. Her longest and most powerful poem is entitled "Vivia Perpetua."
