Sobre este item
Newark : Printed by W. Tuttle, 1806, 1782, 1806. Very Good. 192 pp. ; 18 cm. ; Contents: Introduction.--Moses.--David and Goliath.--Belshazzar.--Daniel.--Hezekiah.--Sensibility.--A search after happiness. ; OCLC: 1825139 ; Signature of John Sill, a member of the New York State Assembly from Albany County, 1789-91 ; "Hannah More was one of the last of the group of learned ladies who had known [Samuel] Johnson, though Madame d'Arblay survived her for some years. Her writings have the old-fashioned flavour of the eighteenth century ; while they now represent the teaching of the evangelical school, which looked up to Newton and Cecil, and of which William Wilberforce and his friends were the recognised political and social leaders. Though now out of fashion, they show not only high moral and religious purpose, but strong sense, as well as considerable intellectual vivacity. If their author showed a little self-complacency, the wonder is that her strong sense kept her from being spoilt by the uniform flattery poured upon her by her contemporaries. Her services to education at a time of general indifference deserve the highest praise, though her decided desire to keep the poor in their place is now out ot fashion. In private life she seems to have been thoroughly amiable, kind to children, and as playful as her conscience would allow....[Samuel Johnson] declared to Beattie that she was the most' powerful versificatrix in the English language'" -- from The Dictionary of National Biography, 1909. ; repair to cover ; FAIR
