Broome, Mary Ann, Lady, b. in Jamaica, where her father, Hon. W. J. Stewart, was island secretary; educated in England, returned to Jamaica in 1850, and in 1852 was married to Captain G. R. Barker, R.A., who afterwards served in the Crimean war and the Indian Mutiny and was made K.C.B. He died in 1860, and in 1864 Lady Barker was married to Mr.-afterwards Sir -Frederick Napier Broome, supra, then of Canterbury, New Zealand. After her return to England in 1869 she entered on a successful literary career, writing works descriptive of life in the colonies and books for young people, which have been very popular. She was superintendent of the Kensington School of Cookery 1874-75, and has since then resided with her husband in the colonies where he has held appointments. 1. Station Life in New Zealand, Lon., 1869, p. 8vo; new eds., 1871, 1874, 1878, 1883.

"If grown-up people can be tempted, as doubtless they can, to run off to the colonies in the way that school-boys are tempted by stirring narratives of adventure to run off to sea, this must be a very dangerous book. Lady Barker, indeed, gives some express cautions on the subject, but the whole tone of her book is very exhilarating. We may express our implicit confidence in Lady Barker's descrip tions, which are tinged with something of couleur de rose, but not with more than comes from health and high spirits... We find this book full of a singular interest and charm."-Specator, xliii. 591.
