MILESI, BIANCA
Of Milan, has been very carefully educated by judicious parents. Possessing a mind capable of the highest cultivation, every thing which instructors can effect has been done to render her thoroughly accomplished. Not satisfied with a proficiency in the lighter intellectual acquirements, the most profound studies have received her patient and indefatigable attention. As her abilities and her laborious course of study were well known, her first appearance in the Republic of Letters was greeted with an applause that her subsequent works have fully justified. She is a respectable artist, having studied painting at Rome, and developed a genius for that art, which would have rendered her remarkable even without her scientific honours.
