  Women of the American Revolution - Mrs. Ralph Izard
The correspondence of Ralph Izard was published a few years since by his daughter, Anne Izard Deas, at the desire of her mother, whose anxiety to do justice to the memory of her husband proves her worthy of sharing in his fame.
Izard's wardrobe was robbed, and several of the marauders arrayed themselves in his best coats; valuable articles were seized in the presence of the mistress of the mansion, and an attempt was even made to force her rings from her fingers.
Izard's house was recovered, and restored by the conquerors to the owner, with a compliment to the matron whose strength of spirit had proved the means of their obtaining the victory.

Appointed (1777) commissioner to Tuscany by the Continental Congress, he was not received by that government, but he felt that, as an American diplomat, he should take part in American negotiations with France and thus won the enmity of Benjamin Franklin.

Begun in seventeenth-century America, the Izard Library, a collection of 394 surviving titles and 867 volumes, is one of the few privately owned, colonial libraries of its size in existence.

Perhaps the most significant fact about the Izard Library is that it, unlike other privately-owned collections, was not a library built by one collector; it is the result of the efforts of a number of individuals with diverse interests over a span of many decades and generations.
