FROHBERG, REGINA,

A German novelist, was born in 1783, at Berlin. Her maiden name was Salamon. She was the daughter of wealthy Jewish parents, and has lived, since 1813, in Vienna. She is quite a prolific authoress, and her works are distinguished for purity of style, true colouring, and a fine display of imagination. The best of these are "Louisa, or the Contest between Love and Obedience," published at Berlin in 1808; "Love and Grief," published at Amsterdam in 1812; and "The Vow," brought out at Vienna in 1816.
