GUEST, LADY CHARLOTTE,

Was born in Wales, and has done much to elucidate its language and literature. She has translated, from "The Mabinogion," an ancient Welsh work, four tales into English, adding many valuable notes, which show much antiquarian lore and just philosophy. She has been a contributor to the Cambrian Quarterly; and her researches and translations have been highly commended. Another lady, Anna Gurney, of Norfolk, niece, we believe, of Mrs. Fry, has also given much time to these antiquarian pursuits. Through the unwearied efforts of these two women, much of the early history of their country has been sought out, set in order, and thus will be preserved.
