Never was there a more pitiable attempt: she had scarcely a thread of voice remaining, nor the power to sing a note in tune: her figure and acting were equally altered for the worse, and after a few nights she was obliged to retire, and quit the stage altogether...But she was at least remembered to have had a voice, and was looked upon only with compassion" ($Mount-Edgcumbe=, 39-40). "The opera of last night was also enriched by the first appearance, on any stage, of a young lady, a daughter of $Signor Rovedino=...She was received with the warmest applause" (<i>Morning Chronicle</i>, 10 Apr.).
