an English writer and peeress. She is remembered for her collections of prayers. In 1645, Lady Cramond's collection of prayers, A Ladies Legacie to her Daughters, was printed, the first and second of three parts having been written in 1625 and 1635 respectively. She had given a copy of the manuscript to her eldest daughter, Lady Cornwallis, in 1635, yet a manuscript headed Instructions for my children or any other Christian is dated 1606, indicating she had begun writing motherly advice many years previous.
