Lucy Aikin (November 6, 1781- January 29, 1864), daughter of John Aikin and niece of Anna Letitia Barbauld, born at Warrington, England, had some repute as a historical writer. After producing various books for the young under the pseudonym Mary Godolphin, a poem, Epistles on Women, and a novel, Lorimer (1814), she published in 1818 her Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, which passed through several editions. This was followed by Memoirs of the Court of James I (1822), Memoirs of the Court of Charles I (1833) and a Life of Addison (1843). Miss Aikin died at Hampstead, England, where she had lived for forty years.
