Légende

The late Dowager Lady Stanley of Alderley, 1895. Henrietta Stanley, Canadian-born political hostess and campaigner for the education of women in England. 'A very gracious and useful life has just been closed by the death, on Feb. 16, of the Dowager Lady Stanley of Alderley. She was much more than a link with the past, she was an active force in the present. She had warmed her hands at both sides of the fire, had lived for eighty-seven years, most of them dans le mouvement. Her reminiscences stretched back to the reign of George IV., to whom she was presented; she was present at the Queen's coronation, and also at the great Jubilee service in Westminster Abbey. Names such as those of Carlyle, Guizot, O'Connell, would cause the chords of her memory to "vibrate once more," as she told with delightful vivacity her experiences of the great for nearly seventy years. The Dowager Lady Stanley of Alderley was the daughter of the thirteenth Lord Dillon, and was born at Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the age of seven she came with her father to reside at Florence. In 1826 she married Mr. Edward Stanley'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
