"The lady, as it seems to me, was handsome and bright, laughing and talking with my mother. That lady soon became historical — her life a romance, and her name a theme of poetry, and a subject of eloquence. It was Madame Blennerhasset."
"The public history of Blennerhasset and Burr is well known, but that of Margaret Blennerhasset is more interesting than either. It is seventy years since Wirt, in the trial of Burr, uttered his beautiful and poetic description of Madam Blennerhasset and the island she admired."

"The 'Queen of the Fairy Isle' was destined to a fate more severe than if her lot had been cast in the rudest log cabin."
