Henrietta Mosse

[5] Mosse complained that this book should have appeared in 1805 and blamed the difficulties of dealing with the publishers from Ireland and the death of her supporter the Duke of Leinster.

[1][7] Her book Heirs of Villeroy the year before had good reviews and in 1808 The Old Irish Baronet, or, The Manners of my Country followed.

[1] In 1814 her husband had his book Enclytica, Being the Outlines of a Course of Instruction on the Principles of Universal Grammar published.

He had lost his money in a swindle a few years before and they now relied on the novels that Mosse published and the patronage of Louisa Gordon, Marchioness Cornwallis.

She told the fund that she had written plays but she suspected that although she had some encouragement she felt it would need a man to persuade a company to perform them.
