Tat. LATE MRS. EMMA MARSHALL.
Fro THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—It is proposed by friends of the late Mrs. Emma Marshall, of Clifton, the well-known authoress, to place in Bristol Cathedral (with the sanction of the Dean and Chapter) a tablet or other memoral in recognition of the high and pure quality of her literary work, and of the service she thereby rendered especially to the young. Her stories, based for the most part on the lives and times of eminent Englishmen and Englishwomen, have been the means of awakening and culti- vating a taste for history and literature throughout the English-speaking world. If the response to this appeal should be adequate, it is further proposed to apply any sum in ex- cess of that required for the memorial for the benefit of such of Mrs. Marshall's daughters as may seem most to need some provision beyond the very small income to which they became entitled at their mother's death. Donations marked "The Emma. Marshall Memorial Fend" may be sent to Messrs. Prescott and Co., the Old Bank, Clifton ; or to Mrs. E. Burrow Hill or the Rev. J. Gamble, Leigh Woods, Clifton, who have kindly consented to act as secretaries.—I am, Sir,
