GEOGRAPHICAL.
Miss Joanna Esaislfe.

JOANNA BAILLIE, whose literary lie
reached back into the last century, and
whose early recollections were ofihe days
Of Burke, DIR. johnson, Goldsmith, Sir
Joshua Reynolds, and the great men who
figured before the French Revolution, died
at Hampstead, near London, on the even
ing of SUNDAY, the twenty-third of Feb
ruary, at the great age Of nearl ly ninety
years. During the principal part of her
life she lived with maiden sister, Agnes
also poetess-to whom she addressed
her beautiful Brt3day poem. They We're
of "a family in which talent and genius We're
hereditary. Their father was a Scottish
clergyman, and their mother asister Of the
celebrated DR.. William Hunter. They
were born at Bothwell, within short dis
tance Of the ripping of the broad waters
OF the CLYDE Joanna's child-life and as
sociations are beautifully mirrored in the
poem To which we have alluded. Early
in lifethe sisters removed to London, where
their brother, the late Sir Matthew Baillie
the favoriie Medical adviser Of George
IIi-was settled as a physician, and there
her earliest poetical works appeared, a
anonymously. When she began to write,
she tells us in one Of her prefaces, not one
ofthc eminent authors oimodern times was
known, and Mr. Hayley and Miss Seward
were the poets spoken Off society. The
brightest stars in the poencal frmament,
with very few exceptions, have risen and
set since then the greastcst revolutions in
empire and in opinion have taken place; !;
but she lived on as if no echo of the up
turnings and overthrows which filed the
world reached the quiet Of home; the fresh
ness Of her inspirations untarnished; WI
ing from the fulness Of a true heart of
themes belonging equally to all the ages.
Personally she was scarcely known In
literary society; but from her first appear
ance as an author, no woman commanded
more respect and admiration by her works;
and the most celebrated of her contempo-
raries Wed with each other in doing her
honor. Scott calls her the Shakespeare Of
