(Lady Grace), an English lady of uncommon parts, was the daughter of Sir George Norton of Abbots-Leigh in Somersetshire, and born in the year 1676. She had all the advantages of a liberal education; and became the wife of Sir Richard Gethin, of Gethin-Grott in Ireland. She was mistress of great accomplishments, natural and acquired, but did not live long enough to display them to the world; for she died in the 21st year of her age. She was buried in Westminster-abbey, where a beautiful monument with an inscription is erected over her; and, for perpetuating her memory, provision was made for a sermon to be preached in Westminster-abbey, yearly, on Ash-Wednesday for ever. She wrote, and left behind her, in loose papers, a work which, soon after her death, was methodized, and published under the title of "Reliquia Gethinianae; or, Some remains of the most ingenious and excellent lady, Grace lady Gethin, lately deceased. Being a collection of choice discourses, pleasant apophthegms, and witty sentences. Written by her, for the most part, by way of essay, and at spare hours." Lond. 1700, 4to; with her picture before it.
