GAILLARD, JANE,

A poetess of Lyons, living in the sixteenth century. We have found nothing concerning her writings; therefore have only the record of her name, as presented in the collection of Lyonese authors, to give. Will the numerous band of young ladies who now write "charming sonnets" for the public journals, leave each one a name which will be remembered after a lapse of three hundred years?
