GREVILLE, MRS.,

Wife of Fulke Greville, was a celebrated wit and beauty in English society during the last century. She wrote, about 1763, a "Prayer for Indifference," which was long very popular. The beautiful Mrs. Crewe was the daughter of Mrs. Greville. Her maiden name was Fanny M'Cartney. Mrs. Greville was the author of "Maxims and Characters," published in 1756, and some other works; but none are now of much account.
