STRICKLAND, See also:AGNES (18061874) , See also:English See also:historical writer, was See also:born in 1806, the third daughter of See also:Thomas Strickland, of Reydon See also:Hall, See also:Suffolk. Her first See also:literary efforts were historical romances in See also:verse in the See also:style of See also:Walter See also:ScottSee also:Worcester See also:Field (published without date), See also:Demetrius and other Poems (1833). From this she passed to See also:prose histories, written in a See also:simple style for the See also:young. A picturesque See also:sketch of the Pilgrims of See also:Walsingham appeared in 1835, two volumes of Tales and Stories from See also:History in the following See also:year. Then, with the assistance of her See also:sister, she projected a more ambitious See also:work, The Lives of the Queens of See also:England, from See also:Matilda of See also:Flanders to See also:Queen See also:Anne. The first See also:volume appeared in 1840, the twelfth and last in 1849. See also:Miss Strickland was a warm See also:partisan on the See also:side of See also:royalty and ' This See also:condition is realized in practice when the fluid causing See also:internal pressure is held in by a See also:piston, and the stress between this piston and the other end of the See also:cylinder is taken by some other See also:part of the structure than the cylinder sides. ' The See also:solution which follows in the See also:text is applicable even when there is See also:longitudinal stress, provided that the longitudinal stress is uniformly distributed over each transverse See also:section. If we See also:call this stress p", the longitudinal See also:strain is p"/E+(p+p')/uE. Since the whole strain is See also:uniform, and p" is uniform, the sum of p and p' is See also:constant at all points, as in the See also:case where the ends are See also:free.the See also:church, but she made industrious study of " See also:official records and other public documents," gave copious extracts from them, and See also:drew interesting pictures of See also:manners and customs. While engaged on this work she found See also:time in 1843 to edit the Letters of See also:Mary, Queen of Scots, whose innocence she championed with See also:enthusiasm. In 185o she followed up her Queens of England with the Lives of the Queens of See also:Scotland, completing the See also:series in eight volumes in 1859.

Unresting in her See also:

industry, she turned next to the See also:Bachelor See also:Kings of England, about whom she published a volume in 1861. The Lives of the Seven Bishops followed in 1866—after a longer See also:interval, part of which was employed in producing an abridged version of her Queens of England. Her last work was the Lives of the Last Four See also:Stuart Princesses, published in 1872. In 1871 she obtained a See also:civil-See also:list See also:pension of boo in recognition of her merits. She died on the 8th of See also:July 1874. A See also:Life by her sister, Jane See also:Margaret Strickland, appeared in 1887.
