Piozzi, Hester Lynch, 1741-1821,. Autograph letter signed from Hester Lynch Piozzi, Denbigh, to Mrs. Siddons, London [manuscript], 1794 August 27.

Title: Autograph letter signed from Hester Lynch Piozzi, Denbigh, to Mrs. Siddons, London [manuscript], 1794 August 27.

Mrs. Piozzi mentions that "all goes well but me, and I am stunned in the Ears somehow, dizzy and as if deaf:----a whorson tingling as Sir John Falstaff says." With regards to the Mysteries of Udolpho, she says "some Lady was saying the other day that the Book was like Macbeth--as like replied H:L:P as Peppermint Water is to good French Brandy." Much of the letter consists of Mrs. Piozzi's parody of Newbery's "Chapter of Kings." Piozzi's verse about French revolutionaries entitled "Chapter of King-killers" begins "When France mad for Freedom her King control'd." This text of the poem includes several revisions.
