A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Lincoln, (Elizabeth, Countess of)
Was married to Thomas, earl of Lincoln, about the latter end of the reign of queen Elizabeth, by whom she had seven sons and nine daughters: she survived him many years, and in the year 1628 published a small but valuable tract, entitled. The Countess of Lincolne's Nursery. It is addressed to her daughter-in-law, Bridget, countess of Lincoln, and is an excellent proof of her good sense, being, as a judicious writer observes, a well written piece, full of fine arguments, and capable of convincing any one, that is capable of conviction, of the necessity and advantages of mothers nursing their own children. By her ladyship's speaking of it as the first work of hers ever printed, one would imagine she had written more, but nothing of this kind has come to our knowledge.
