NOE, CANEDI MADDALENA,
Is a native of Bologna. Early in life she had the opportunity at her native city of acquiring a knowledge of literature and science, for which she manifested decided abilities. She was admitted to that celebrated university, and then, after going through the regular studies, attended a course of law lectures. In this science she became so thoroughly versed, that the faculty determined to bestow a degree upon her. This was done on the 26th. of April, 1807. The college of lawyers, in endowing her with the doctoral ring, presented her with a black velvet gown, embroidered in gold with laurel leaves, and in the centre, woven in gold letters, these words, "Collegium Doctorum Jusis Archigymnasii Bonon, dat merenti." Shortly after this she married, and has since lived in the most retired domestic privacy. Nor has the remembrance of her laurels or literary triumphs diminished in the least the mildness and modesty which are an essential part of her character.
