She sometimes used the pseudonym 'Gabrielli', and probably married a clergyman and poet, the Reverend Francis Meeke (B.A. 1773, M.A. 1776, Cambridge). Her novels include: ''The Abbey of Cluny'', ''The Mysterious Wife'', ''Anecdotes of the Altamont Family'', and ''Which is the Man?''. "Our public schools," Mary Meeke said in her time, "are mere hot-beds for the encouragement of vice and dissipation, which flourish in still greater perfection at college; and as for the grand tour, "why, half those who undertake it return greater fools than they set out".
