| | Surname | Roberts | | | First names | Emma | | | Rank/ occupation | Miss & Author | | | Death date | 17 Sept 1840 | | | Place of death | Poonah  | | | Source | Gentleman's Magazine |  | Edition | May 1841 | | | Page number | 544 | | | Detail | At Poonah, in India, Miss Emma Roberts, a lady distinguished by her intelligent writings. Miss Roberts had previously accompanied her sister, Mrs McNaghten, to India, and resided in that country some time; but on her death returned to England, and employed her pen assidiously and advantageously in illustrating the condition of our Eastern dominions... [the Literary Gazette's editor is quoted as saying] ""The expedition to India, on which she has unfortunately perished, was undertaken with comprehensive views towards the further illustration of the East; and portions of her descriptions have appeared, as she journeyed to her destination, in periodicals devoted to Oriental subjects. Unhappily, the anticipated fruits of her completed labours are lost to us for ever, and she is mingled with the dust in a far distant region of the earth."" [She was the Author of Oriental scenes, sketches, and tales, 1832] |
