The Cottage On the Cliff: A Seaside Story
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Catherine Mason
Edit ProfileCareer
Some of her most notable works are The Mysterious Marriage, The Rose of Claremont and The Eve of Street Agnes. She is also believed to have had a brief acting career in Edinburgh during her earlier years. During her time in Edinburgh she is believed to have acted on the stage for a short period which may have influenced her to later write two operas and a farce.
Her first published work was a collection of poems she wrote whilst in Edinburgh in 1805.
Over the 30 years she was writing, Ward published around twenty-one novels and six collections of poetry. One particular novel, The Castle of Villeroy, in 1829 was written under the pseudonym, Ann of Kent.
lieutenant is her only novel written under a pseudonym. Despite her extensive writing career, Ward"s life was financially difficult.
She applied for financial support from the Royal Literary fund five times over the period 1816 and 1832, receiving £35 in total.
On 18 June 1824, Ward was detained at the Kings bench prison for her husband"s debts that amounted to £70. She was released in August of the same year, around the time she was writing The Mysterious Marriage. Her death was a quiet affair, likely in Scotland, and the date remains unknown.
She faded from the literary world in 1833 after the release of her final novel, Alice Gray.
Family Portraits: The Fisher"s Daughter (1812) was the continuation of The Mysterious Marriage (1810) showing that the reading public was interested in her work.
