one of her quotes:
conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven cords -
philosopy, art, poetry, politics, love scandal, and the weather.

_A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature_ by Cousin, John W. (1910?)
JAMESON, MRS. ANNA BROWNELL (MURPHY) (1794-1860).--Writer on art, _dau._ of Denis B.M., a distinguished miniature painter, _m._ Robert Jameson, a barrister (afterwards Attorney-General of Ontario). The union, however, did not turn out happily: a separation took place, and Mrs. J. turned her attention to literature, and specially to subjects connected with art. Among many other works she produced _Loves of the Poets_ (1829), _Celebrated Female Sovereigns_ (1831), _Beauties of the Court of Charles II._ (1833), _Rubens_ (translated from the German), _Hand Book to the Galleries of Art_, _Early Italian Painters_, _Sacred and Legendary Art_ (1848), etc. Her works show knowledge and discrimination and, though now in many respects superseded, still retain interest and value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.240.27.148 (talk) 04:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
