Excerpt from Maria Edgeworth and Her Circle in the Days of Buonaparte and Bourbon Marc Auguste Pictet, who made a pilgrimage to Edgeworthstown in 1801, gives us a pleasant glimpse of the family in his Voyage de Trois Mois. The first day he called Miss Edgeworth happened to be away from home. We talked of Maria, he says, who appeared to me to be truly appreciated by her family. In the very parlour where we were seated there stood the little table upon which she wrote her charming works, in the midst of the general buzz of talk, and of the noise of her younger brothers and sisters.
