'THE BRIDE OF SIENA.' A poem of this title was anonymously published in London by Saunders and Otley (2nd ed., 1838 : preface dated London, Jan. 15, 1835).

THEOBALD WOLFE TONE had twenty-eight descendants, twenty of whom are now living. His eldest child, Maria, died of consumption in Paris in 1803 at the age of 16: the second child, Richard, died an infant at Bodenstown : the third, Francis Rawdon, also died of consumption at 13 in Paris in 1806.
