CHANDLER, MARY, distinguished by her talent for poetry, was the daughter of a dissenting minister at Bath, and was born at Malmesbury in Wiltshire in 1687. She was bred a milliner, but from her childhood had a turn for poetry, and in her riper years applied herself to the study of the poets. Her poems, for which she was complimented by Mr Pope, breathe the spirit of piety and philosophy. She died in 1745, aged fifty-eight.
