Mrs. Jane I.ewson, commonly called lady Lesson. from the very eteantrie manner of her dress. In recording this instance of nnantal longevity. some account of her may nat. perhaps, be uninteresting to our Headers. Mrs. Jane Lewsom was born in the year 1700, during the reign of William and Mary, in Essex-street, in the Strand, of most respectable parents, of the name of Vaughan. and was married at an early age to a wealthy gentleman of the name nt Lewson. then living in the house in which she died. She became a widow at the age of twenty-six. having only one daughter living at the time. Mrs. Lesson, being left by her hus band in affluent circumstances, preferred to continue single, and re mained sic, although she had many stigma When her daughter mar ried, being left alone, she became trod of retirement, and rarely went out, or pemtittisl the •wisits of any person. For the last 30 years she had kept no servant.. except one old female, who died to tears ago: she was stuxeighal by the old woinau's grand-daughter. wrio got married about three years since; and she was succeeded by an old man, who attended the different hotuas in the square to go of errands, clean shoes, ;Irs. Lewson took this man into her Louse, and he acted as her steward, butler. cook, and housemaid, and, with the exception of two old lap-dogs and a eat, he win her only companion. The house she occupied was large, and elegantly furnished, but very ancient ; the beds were kept constantly made, although they had not been slept in for about 50 years. !ler apartment being only oceans:tally swept out. but never washed, the windows were so mated with dirt, that they hardly admitted a ray of light. A large garden in the rear of her house was the only thing she paid attention to ; this was always kept in good order, and here, when the weather permitted, she enjoyed the air, or sometimes sat and read, of which she was particularly fond; or else chatted on times past with any of the few remaining acquaintances whose visits she pennitte.h. She seldom visited herself, except at Mr. Jones's, a grocer, in the square. with whom she dealt. She had for many years survived every individnal of her relatives within many de grees of kindred. She was so partial to the faaliittni that prevailed in her youthful days, that she never changed the manner of her dress from that worn in the reign of George tile First. She always wore powder, with a large tete, made of' horse-hair, on her head, near half a foil high, over which her hair was turned up; a cap over it which knotted under her chin. and three or four curls hanging down her neck. She ge nerally wore silk gowns. and the train long, with a deep %unix all round, a very long want, and very tightly laced up to her neck, roan.' which was dkind of ruff. or trill. The sleeees of her gown came below the elbow, from each of which four or five large culls were attached; a large straw bonnet quite that, high heeled slaw a large black bilk cloak, trimmed round with lace, and a gold-he:l4lva cane, coniideted her every day costume for the last no years, and in which she walked round the square; on which accuton she was known by the name of lady Lewson. 11cr manner of living was so methodical, that she would not drink her tea out of any other tam a favourite cup. She was equally partienlar with respect to her knives, forks, plates. &e. At breakfast she arranged in a partirular way the paraphernalia of the tea tablet at thinner she also observed a general rule, and always sat in her favourite chair. She RIWTIVS enioved an excellent state of health, assisted in regulating her house. net never had, until a little previens to her decease, at, hour's illness. She entatained the greatest averstet. to medicine, and what is remarkable she eat two new teeth at the age of 57, and never lost one in her life, nor was oche et er trouhlA with the bath-tech. Her sight latterly faileel '.er. Siie lived in live reigns, and was :maimed the most rata:fill living historian of the age, the ...vents of the year 1715 being fresh in her recollection.
