In the year1826 Mr. Wiffen visited Normandy, for the purpose of collecting materials for hisprincipal prose work, The Historical Memoirs of the House of Russell, which, afterseven years of labour and research, appeared in the year 1833. A copy of this work,for the Library at Woburn Abbey, was illustrated by His Grace the Duke of Bedford withHistorical Portraits to the amount of nearly 1000/. In the year 1836, from a lifecalmly lapsing away in the happy solitudes of literature, Mr. Wiffen was suddenlycalled away, at the early age of 43 ; leaving a widow and three infant daughters tolament the loss of one equally good and gifted. His remains rest with the dead ofhis own people; a cypress alone distinguishing his grave from the commoner earth. The sister of Mr. Wiffen (Mrs. A. A. Watts) is a lady of most accomplished mind ;her literary productions, although few in number, possess the highest merit. The Luck of Eden-Hall was originally published in The Literary Souvenir.
