ADY GILSTRAP, the Authoress of these Poems, was born at Colne Bridge House, Huddersfield, on f September 23rd, 1822, the fourth fi, daughter of Thomas Haigh, Esq., and was married, June 2nd, 1847, to Mr., now Sir, William Gilstrap, Bart., of Fornham Park, Bury St. Edmund s, Suffolk, and of Newark Finding a constant pleasure in everything good, and the beauty of Nature, Lady Gilstrap developed at an early age the love of poesy that never left her, recurring to it with zest during the intervals of an active and earnest life. The love of parents, home, and friends; the wonders of creation, the verities of religion, and the emotions which stir the heart in the presence of picturesque or historic scenes, developed in verse, give a truthful insight, which friends will value, into the recesses of her innocently luminous mind, and the sentiments by which it was actuated.
