Margaret Newcastle

From English Essays from a French Pen, 1895 by J. J. Jusserand

So great, indeed, is the difference between English and Frnech plays, that Sorbières would bring home some samples of the former to show to his friends at Paris as travelling curiosities. What he chose to take with him was neither the first folio of Shakespeare nor old Ben's works, nor Davenant's romantic plays, but of all works and of all dramatists, a volume lately published by " dear Margaret Newcaster," . . ;   " un volume que la Marquise de Nieucaster a composé."   He took at the same time with him three volumes of the poetical, political, and philosophical works " de cette dame," and his friends in France could not but admire the " bel esprit, good sense, and eloquence," of which he says they are full.
