During fifteen years that this endearing connexion subsisted , the happir ness that she conferred and received as a wife , a mother , a friend and the mistress of a family , was as great as the circumstances of human nature permit , alloyed
only by a state of body never very robust , not unfrequently the cause of suffering to herself , and , sometimes of serious apprehension to her frfends . It is difficult to describe ; the warni affection felt for her , even by those who were only occasionally in her company , without appearing to adopt the language of panegyric rather
