      Eliza Cook . We regret to record ___ ___ the death of __ Eliza __ Cook

      which took v _ J place on Tuesday evening , the 24 th , j ult . at Wimbledon , where she had lived in

      retirement for a number of years . She was born in South wark in 1818 , and at an early age became

      a contributor to various periodicals , including the once well-known Neio Monthly Magazine 1 / .

      Miss Cook published a volume of poems in 1840 , and , in spite of a good deal of hostile

      criticism , rapidly won a measure of reputation , especially with the least critical class of readers . The book has since passed through

      several editions . Forty years ago the deceased lady commenced ElizaCook's Journal

      a venture which proved very , successful for , several years , and was only relinquished in

      1854 through failing health . In Octpber 1864 Miss Cook published ' New Echoes , and other Poems / a volume which considerablrevived

      y a waning reputation . In the same year she was granted a literary pension of £ 100 per

      annum from the Civil List . Her poema deal chiefly with the domestic affections . Perhaps the most widely popular of her songs of home

      'life are the beautiful and tender lines The Old Armchair . ' Though Miss Cook had been for some time in delicate health her death

      came as a surprise to those who had seen the genial poetess of late . . *>•
