SCOTT’S HEROINE. FACTS ABOUT THE ORIGINAL OF THE NOVELIST’S REBECCA. She Wat* a Resident of Philadelphia and Was the Dearest Friend of Washington Irving’s Only Love —How Sir Walter Scott Heard of Her. Of all the women Sir Walter Scott has drawn Rebecca and Rowena are the best known and best beloved. The tender strength of the one, the tender sweetness of the other, the romantic story through which they move and the perfection of the contrast between them—all contribute to fix them firmly in the hearts of all readers. It has been said that Rebecca is the great novelist’s finest character. If this is so it is of all the more interest to us, for her prototype was a Philadelphian. The original of Rebecca, the daughter of Isaac of York, was Rel>ecca Gratz, born in this city in the last century and still living after the two great novelists who succeeded Bcott had been gathered to Walhalla. 1 stood the other day by her forgotten grave in the little old grass grown Jewish cemetery on Spruce street, just south of the Quaker meeting house, between Eighth and Ninth streets, and 1 read the simple inscription on the tomb —“Rebecca Gratz. Born March 4, 1781. Died Aug. 27, 1809.” Miss Gratz was a conspicuous member of an honorable Jewish family. She possessed in early years—indeed even to the day of her death—a singular beauty of face and form. Her eyes were of exquisite shape, largo, black and lustrous: her figure was graceful and her carriage was marked by quiet dignity. Besides these attractions she had elegant and winning manners. Gentle, benevolent and accomplished, Rebecca soon became the center of a brilliant circle of men and women — Christians and Jews. Her parents died when she was very young, but the Gratz mansion, presided over by Rebecca, continued to be known far and wide for its hospitality. One of the most intimate friends ■of her brother was W ashingtoa Irving, who was then in the early freshness of his literary career, and in this way a cordial friendship and admiration were established between the author and Miss Gratz, which lasted as long as life. Matilda Hoffman, who was the object of Irving’s only love, was also Rebecca’s dearest friend, many of her younger days being passed with the Hoffmans and other old families in New York. During Miss Hoffman's first illness Rebecca was her constant companion, sharing with the family the cares of the sick bed and holding Matilda when she died in her arms. Scott and Irving met for the first time in 1817. the American visiting Sir Walter with a letter of introduction from the poet Campbell. He was most cordially received at Abbotsford, and there Irving passed several of the most delightful days of his life listening to the many tales, told as no one but Scott could tell them, and rambling about the beautiful hills. During one of tiie frequent conversations between the two authors Irving spoke of his own and Miss Hoffman's friend —Rebecca Gratz, of Philadelphia. He glowingly described her beauty and related the story of her firm adherence to her religious faith under the most trying circumstances, but particularly did ho tell of her zealous philanthropy and loveliness of character. Sir Walter was very deeply impressed and interested and conceived the idea of embodying a character like hers in one of his novels. He was then revolving in his mind the story of “Ivanhoe.” And on the strength of Irving’s vivid description, he determined to introduce a Jewish female character. Scott composed this story during moments of intense physical pain, yet a* times he became so interested in the character of Rebecca, for he even adopted her name, that he rose from his couch and walked up and down the room while he dictated the story to his amanuensis. He finished the book in December, 1819, and immediately sent the first copy to Irving. In the letter accompanying it, he asked: “How do you like your Rebecca? Does the Rebecca 1 have pictured compare well with the pattern given?” The resemblance of the character to that of Miss Gratz, it is said by those who knew her, was closely marked. Although the source of the character was known to the Jewess, her modesty made her shrink from the publicity of it, and when pressed upon the subject she would deftly evade the matter by changing the topic. When a young girl, it is said, Rebecca Gratz won the regard of a gentleman of good position and wealth, but as he was a Christian the difference in thoir religious faith proved a hopeless barrier to their union. She consequently never married. Instead she devoted her life to charitable deeds. She founded the orphans' asylum of this city, and as early as 1811 her name appeared as an officer of the female association. In J8”8 a mission school for Hebrew children was started by tins noble woman. At this school prayers of her own composition were used daily. Miss Gratz lived to the advanced age of eighty-eight, when she died universally regretted. The ancient graveyard where her mortal remains repose has been closed for burial purposes almost ever since her death, although previous to that time it was extensively used.
