Excerpt from The Cruise of the Betsey, or a Summer Holiday in the Hebrides: With Rambles of a Geologist or Ten Thousand Miles Over the Fossiliferous Deposits of Scotland

During the month of May (1857) Mrs Miller came to Malvern, after recovering from the first shock of bereavement, in search of health and repose, and evidently hoping to do justice, on her recovery, to the literary remains of her hus band. Unhappily the excitement and anxiety naturally at, taching to a revision of her husband's works proved over much for one suffering under such recent trial, and from an affec tion of the brain and spine which ensued, and, in consequence, Mrs Miller has been forbidden, for the present, to engage in any work of mental labour.
