She was the daughter of that highly cultivated Jewish family of whom I have spoken before.

When I first knew her she was as pretty and charming a young girl as could be imagined.

She was possessed then of all the accomplishments that can adorn a girl at that period of life.

Later on she showed that she was gifted with sense, knowledge, energy, firmness, courage and _caractere_ in a degree very uncommon.

Since leaving Vienna I had neither seen nor heard more of her, till she came to live with her husband and family of children in Florence.
