A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Méteyard, Eliza
METEYARD, ELIZA,
Better known by her signature of "Silverpen," writes chiefly for the London periodicals. She was a favoured contributor to "Eliza Cook's Journal," and has written for some of the American Magazines. Miss Méteyard is of the progressive school, but has none of the gloom or misanthrophy which those whose wishes to do good outrun their power, often display. She is cheerful, and strives to improve the habits and minds of the poor, as an effective means of bettering their physical condition. This is a department of benevolence too often overlooked; and one which the tender and refined soul of woman is best qualified to advance. Miss Méteyard has the true sense of the beautiful in nature and art, and feels it may bless the poor as well as the rich. She deserves much praise for her efforts in the cause of reform.
