THYNNE, FRANCES, DUCHESS OF SOMERSET,
Was born near the close of the eighteenth century. Walpole says of her, "she had as much taste for the writings of others as modes, about her own," and might have obtained fame for her talents, had not her retiring disposition and affectionate piety led her to prefer the society of well-chosen friends, to the applause of the world. Her attainments were considerable, which she employed in the careful education of her children, the charge of whom, and devoted ​attendance by the sick-bed of her husband, occupied the best part of her life. She was fond, however, of literary society, as is shown by her friendship for Mrs. Rowe, (she was the authoress of the letter signed Cleora, in Mrs. R.'s collection;) Thomson, whom she kindly patronized, (who dedicated to her the first edition of his "Spring;") Dr. Watts, (who dedicated to her his "Miscellaneous Thoughts in Prose and Verse;") and Shenstone, (who addressed to her his ode on "Rural Elegance.") She died in 1754. No collection of her poems has been made, although a number are preserved in Bingley's "Correspondence of the Countess of Pomfret" with our authoress.

TISHEM, CATHARINE,
Said to have been an Englishwoman, married Gualtherus Gruter, a burgomaster of Antwerp, to whom she bare a son, James Gruter, celebrated for his erudition. Being persecuted on account of her religion, by Margaret, Duchess of Parma, she took refuge with her son in England, in 1565. She was one of the most learned women of the age; was well acquainted with the ancient and modern languages, and read Galen in Greek, which few physicians were then able to do. She was her son's chief instructor, and continued to superintend his studies during his residence in .Cambridge. She was living in 1579.

TOMLINS, ELIZABETH S.,
An ingenious poetess, novelist, and miscellaneous writer, was born in London, in 1768. Her father was Thomas Tomlins, Esq., an eminent solicitor. She showed an early talent for poetry; but afterwards turning her attention to the composition of tales and novels, she published successively several works, the most popular was, "The Victim of Fancy," and a ballad, entitled "Connell and Mary." Miss Tomlins also translated the first history of Napoleon Bonaparte. She died at her residence at Chalden, in Surrey, 1826.

TREFFZ, JETTY,
Within the last few years this name has become familiar as a household word in the musical circles of England, as it had previously been in those of the Continent. It is that by which a celebrated public singer chooses to be known, although Treffz is only her family name by the maternal side. Henrietta de Th$_{****}$d, her proper designation, was born at Vienna, on the 28th. June, 1826; her father, a Polish gentleman, was an officer in the Austrian service, and her mother was the daughter of the beautiful Laura Schwam, beloved and immortalized by the poet Frederick Schiller. The fair Laura was married to Professor Treffz, and the offspring of this union was Jetty's mother, who having ample means, gave her daughter the best education that could be procured. But reverses of fortune happening when the subject of our sketch was about thirteen years old, the young girl's musical talents were cultivated with a view to her future subsistence. The first instructor under whom she was placed, was an Italian professor named Gentelhuomo. She made remarkable progress, and soon attracted the attention of Merilli, the director of the Viennese Italian Opera, who engaged her, but did not at once assign her a part, in consequence of which she threw up the engagement and went to Dresden, where, in her fifteenth year, she made her debût as "Giuletta," in Bellini's opera "L'Capuletti ed i Montecehi," Sehroeder Deorient being the "Romeo." Her success was complete; so struck was the Queen of Saxony with her talents, that she had her placed under the celebrated Morlacchi's tuition at her own expense. After a brilliant season at Dresden, Jetty went to Leipsic, ​where she attracted the notice of Mendelsohn, who did all in his power to assist her. He taught her his songs, and composed one of the most celebrated of them, the well-known "Volksleid," expressly for her. After performing in most of the German cities, with still increasing success, she, in the revolutionary year, 1848, came to England and sung before the classical audience of our Philharmonic Society; her fine mezzo soprano voice was extremely admired, as well as the taste and simplicity of her management of its powers; she sang before the Queen and became a musical star of London and the provinces, getting encores and thunders of applause wherever she appeared. Up to the present time she has continued to delight English audiences with her fine vocal powers, to the attractions of which she adds the advantage of a pretty and piquante expression of face, attractive manners, and a most amiable character, and all the accomplishments of a thoroughly educated gentlewoman. Like Jenny Lind, she is ever ready to assist in a work of charity, and her brother or sister artistes in misfortune, have frequently found a ready friend and sympathizer in Jetty Treffz.

TINTORETTO, MARIETTA,
Was born in Venice, in 1560, and was instructed in the art of painting by her father, Giocomo. She showed an early genius for music, as well as for painting, and performed remarkably well on several instruments; but her predominent inclination to the art in which her father was so eminent, determined her to quit all other studies, and apply herself entirely to it. By the direction of Giacomo, she studied design, composition, and colouring; and drew after the antique, and finest models, till she had obtained a good taste and great readiness of band. But though she was well qualfied to make a considerable appearance in historical, she devoted her talents wholly to portrait-painting. Her father, who was accounted little inferior to Titian, if not his equal in that line, took great pains to direct her judgment and skill in that branch of art, till she gained an easy elegance in her manner of design, and an admirable tone of colour. Her pencil was free, her touch light and full of spirit; and she received deserved applause, not only for the beauty of her work, but for the exactness of resemblance. Most of the nobility of Venice sat to her; and she was solicited by the Emperor Maximilian, Philip II., King of Spain, and by the Archduke Ferdinand, to visit their courts; but such was her affectionate attachment to her father, that she declined these honours, and continued at Venice, where she married; she died in 1590.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Townsend, Eliza

TOWNSEND, ELIZA,
Was born In Boston, Massachusetts, where she still resides, during the latter part of the eighteenth century. All her early poems, though attracting attention and favourable notice for the poetic genius they displayed, were published anonymously, and for many years her authorship was kept a secret, which has prevented her from being as widely known as she would otherwise have been. Her poem on "The Incomprehensibility of God" is generally considered her best; and in a criticism on this, the Rev. Dr. Cheever remarks, that "it is equal in grandeur to the Thanatopsis of Bryant," and that "it will not suffer by comparison with the most sublime pieces of Wordsworth or Coleridge." Though this praise may be somewhat too high, yet it shows among what class of poets Miss Townsend may claim a place—those in whom religious feeling, thoughtfulness, and a deep and quiet enthusiasm are the leading traits. Her productions have generally appeared in the different religious periodicals of New England, and no collection of them has ever been made. Mr. Griswold, whose work on "The Female Poets of America" is well known, says of this writer:—"There is a religious and poetical dignity, with all the evidences of a fine and richly-cultivated understanding, in most of the poems of Miss Townsend, which entitle her to be ranked among the distinguished literary women who were her contemporaries, and in advance of all who in her own country preceded her."

TRIMMER, SARAH,
The daughter of Mr. Kirby, who wrote on Perspective, was born at Ipswich, in 1741. She prepared several useful works to promote the diffusion of education, at a period when for a woman to devote herself to such a task was uncommon and unpopular. Mrs. Hannah More was, it is true, in the field of literature; but she had gained powerful friends and supporters; nor did she aim so much at opening and clearing the sources of education for the young and ignorant, as in interesting and improving those who were already educated, or giving a moral direction to minds which could not be kept quiet in their ignorance But Hannah More could not do everything which was then needed in literature for her sex and for children; she, probably, effected more good than any one writer of her time; and among her kind feelings and noble acts, was the regard she manifested for Mrs. Trimmer, and the efforts she used to serve this more humble, but useful literary contemporary.

TIBERGEAU, MARCHIONESS DE,
Was sister of the Marquis de Phisieulx, and the beloved niece of Rochefoucauld, author of the celebrated "Maxims." Her maiden name was Sillery. She early showed a decided inclination for poetry. It was to Mademoiselle de Sillery that La Fontaine addressed several fables, and of her he spoke when he said,
"Qui dit Sillery, dit tout."
She married the Marquis de Tibergeau, and continued till her death the constant friend and protector of literary men. She encouraged Destouches in writing for the theatre, and induced M. Phisieulx to take him for his secretary when he went as ambassador to Sweden. Destouches often consulted Madame de Tibergeau concerning the plans of his different plays. She preserved all her quickness and vivacity to;he last. She died at the age of eighty.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Tighe, Mary

TIGHE, MARY,
Was the daughter of the Rev. William Blachford, county of Wicklow, Ireland. Mary Blachford was born in Dublin, in 1774; and in 1793, when but nineteen years old, she married her cousin, Henry Tighe, of Woodstock, M. P. for Kilkenny, in the Irish parliament, and author of a "County History of Kilkenny." The family of Mrs, Tighe were consumptive, and she inherited the delicacy of organization which betokens a predisposition to this fatal disease. From early womanhood she suffered from depression of mind and langour of frame, which probably gave that "tone of melancholy music" to her celebrated poem, "which seemed the regretful expression of the consciousness of a not far-off death." Well she might feel sad when this thought was pressing on her heart; for she was most happily married, beloved and cherished by her husband, and surrounded with all the luxuries of life.
She died in 1810, aged thirty-five, after six years of protracted suffering. Her husband, though he survived her some years, never married again. She left no children; but the scenes of her bridal happiness, and of her lamented death, will bear the memory of her beauty, genius, and virtues, while her "Psyche," is read, and the names of those who have celebrated her merits in their songs are remembered. And she has left an enduring monument of her goodness, which gives lustre to her genius. From the profits of her poem, "Psyche," which ran through four editions during her life-time, she built an addition to the orphan asylum in Wicklow, thence called the "Psyche Ward."
