LENNGREN, ANNA MARIA,
A Swedish poetess, was born in 1754, and died in 1817. She was the daughter of Professor Malmstadt, of Upsala. Her "Visit to the Parsonage," "Portraits," and other writings, are charming pictures of domestic life. The Swedish Academy honoured her memory by a medal, on one side of which is her bust, and on the other a muse holding a lyre, with this inscription: "Quo minus gloriam potebat eo magis assecuta."
