    SIR THOMAS CHARLES, son of Thomas, of Basset, was born in London, 1783 ; knighted, 1814 ; died London, 1843. He married, 1812, Miss Sydney Owenson, who, as Lady Morgan, earned in her day a distinction in literature which is still recorded in catalogues of English letters. She wrote poems, novels, biography, and an autobiography. But her reputation was won by her political novel, "The Wild Irish Girl," the title of which became her own soubriquet. In 1817 and 1821 she essayed historical writing, and succeeded in creating genuine sensations by her "France Under the Bourbons" and "Italy" which appears respectively in the last-named years.
