http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/780190207

Giving an account of Catherine Fourmantel's ancestry and relationship with Laurence Sterne. Remarking (erroneously) that Sterne met and married another woman after a one-month courtship even after he had been addressing Miss Fourmantel for five years, and that "the consequence was the total derangement of the intellect of Miss De [Fourmantel]" who ended up in a Private Mad-House. Noting that her own father visited Fourmantel in the madhouse, and eventually acquired Sterne's letters to her, which were passed down in the family to Mrs. Henry Weston.
