Excerpt from Memoirs of an American Lady: With Sketches of Manners and Scenes in America, as They Existed Previous to the Revolution After we had announced our design to republish Mrs. Grant's "History of an American Lady," we received from Mr. Grant Thorburn, of New York, the ensuing letter, which is so characteristic of the parties, and so apposite, that we prefix it to the work; as the recent and final attestation of the narrator to the fidelity of the biographical records with which her attractive volume is replete. New York, 1845. Having heard that you contemplate the republication of the "American Lady," by the late Mrs. Grant, of Langan, Scotland, and having been personally acquainted with her, I thought it proper to present to you a few circumstances anent the authenticity of that very interesting history. It is not a romance; nor a novel, nor a fiction, nor a tale partly founded on reality - but it is an authentic detail of facts. Mrs. Grant was the daughter of Duncan McVickar, and was born in 1755. Her father came to this country in 1757, as an officer in the fifty-fifth regiment of the British army. In the following year, 1758, Mrs. McVickar and her daughter also arrived in New York; and speedily after removed to Claverack, where she resided while Mr. McVickar was absent on military service with his regiment. After which his family were first transferred to Albany, and thence subsequently were stationed at Oswego. The description of that romantic journey, as given in the American Lady, from Schenectady to Oswego, in flat-bottomed boats, is one of Mrs. Grants most pleasing efforts; and excited great attention when the volume was first published in London, in 1808.

Excerpt from Memoirs of an American Lady: With Sketches of Manners and Scenes in America, as They Existed Previous to the Revolution To please myself with the recollection of past happiness and departed worth, is another; and to benefit those into whose hands this imperfect sketch may fall, is a third. For, the authentic record of an exemplary life, though delivered in the most unadorned manner, and even degraded by poverty of style, or uncouthness of narration, has an attraction for the uncorrupted mind.

Anne Grant, nee MacVicar, often styled as Mrs Anne Grant of Laggan, (1755-1838) was a Scottish author and poet. Born in Glasgow, she spent her first 18 months residing in the mountain home of her maternal grandparents and in 1758 travelled to the US with her mother to join her father who was serving with the military. Here she encountered garrison life and later, after her parents had made the acquaintance of Madame Margarita Schuyler (1701-82) who came from a prominent American family of Dutch ancestry, much of her time was spent in Albany with Mme Schuyler where she was introduced to literature, given lessons in geography and acquired other knowledge. In 1768 her father gave up the land he had purchased in America, which was later lost, and returned to Scotland with his family, settling in Fort Angus, Inverness. Here Anne met the Fort's chaplain, James Grant, who took over the living at nearby Laggan and the couple were married in 1779. They spent 22 years at Laggan and had 12 children, only one of whom outlived his mother. After Rev. Grant died in 1801, Anne took in young boys as boarders to help support her family and was later encouraged to collect and publish the letters she had written to friends in her earlier years. Letters from the Mountains was published in 1806, followed by this work in 1808 which gives an acount of her time with Mme Schuyler and her observations of America. Reprinted from the edition of 1836.
