The Times of Tuesday notices the death, on November 25th,
at Clifton, of the accomplished translator of " Tauler's Sermons" and the " Theologia Germanica," Miss Susanna Winkworth, the trusted friend of Charles Kingsley, and one of the wisest, most thoughtful, and patient of the cul- tivated women of her generation. She was, as a notice of her life in the Inquirer, attributed to Dr. Martineau, describes her, the intimate friend and the trusted English expositor of Bunsen ; indeed, in interpreting Baron Bunsen to our generation, she rendered him the great service of filtering his rather clumsy and ill-articulated thought till it became comparatively luminous and definite. She translated Baron Bunsen's letters on " Freedom of Conscience" in the volume called " Signs of the Times," published in 1856. And she con- trived, in 1868, to transform Bunsen's overgrown and unfinished treatise on " God in History " into a shape which was interesting and instructive to English readers. Miss Winkworth was also, as might be expected, one of the foremost in efforts at active benevolence, so far as they come within the range of women's influence. She extended to Bristol the principles of Miss Octavia Hill's London work in improving the dwellings of the poor, and was to the last the managing Director of the Limited Company which built the large block of buildings at Jacob's Well, Clifton. She was also a governess of the Ladies' College at Cheltenham. She will be long and gravely missed, both by private friends and by her colleagues in public work.
