The affecting history of Louisa the wandering maniac, or, “Lady of the hay-stack;” so called, from having taken up her residence under that shelter, in the village of Bourton, near Bristol, in a state of melancholy derangement; and supposed to be a natural daughter of Francis I. emperor of Germany. A real tale of woe. On this history Mr. Boaden founded the favourite play of “The maid of Bristol.” Published 1804 by A. Neil in London .
