Auber, Miss Harriet an English poetess, was born in London, January 20, 1773. She lived a long but retired life, and died at Hoddesdon, Hertshire, January 20, 1862. Of her poetry only a single volume was published, entitled The Spirit of the Psalms (anonymously, 1829), containing some selected pieces, but much original matter of great value, which has been largely adopted in modern hymnals.
