Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson, Third edition of "one of the great English biographies" (ODNB). "It was not until 1806 that a later Julius Hutchinson brought the Memoirs and the autobiography into print. The book became an immediate success, quickly passing into a cheaper edition and being regularly reprinted thereafter, and her strongly moralistic account of the civil war helped to mould both professional historiography and popular opinion. Mrs Hutchinson regularly figured in Victorian books about notable women … the Memoirs has remained an important source for historians" (ODNB).
