AN AUTHOR'S WIDOW, AGED 80.--The WIDOW of the late GEORGE CRABB, of
Magdalen Hall, Oxford, M.A., and of the Inner Temple, Barrister at Law.
Author of "An Historical Dictionary," "A Technological Dictionary," "A
Dictionary of Synonymes," "A History of the English Law," "A Digest of
the Statutes at Large," "A Treatise on the Law of Real Property," &c.
&c. The abject poverty in which Mrs. CRABB, at the advanced age of 80,
finds herself left on the death of her Husband, having come to the
knowledge of one or two persons slightly acquainted with the deceased,
they have made it a duty strictly to inquire into the merits of this
distressing case, and as such earnestly to recommend it to the sympathy
of those who value literature and pity the necessities of age. It is
proposed to raise by subscription a Fund with a view to purchase an
Annuity of about 50_l._ per annum for this venerable relict of one who
has laboured for more than half a century in the preparation of Works of
standard usefulness.
