Elizabeth Carter, (December 16 1717 – February 19 1806), was a miscellaneous writer, born at Deal, daughter of a clergyman. Originally backward, she applied herself to study with such perseverance that she became perhaps the most learned Englishwoman of her time, being mistress of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic, besides several modern European languages. She was also well read in science. She translated Epictetus 1758, and wrote a small volume of poems. She was a friend of Dr. Johnson and many other eminent men. She was of agreeable and unassuming manners.
