Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and General Review, 1835, Vol. 18 So much has already been known of this remarkable lady, from her numerous writings and the biographical notices, which long before her death were in general circulation, in America as well as in England, that scarce any memoirs, that should now be written, could add much to her celebrity; though they might present, as do these, many interesting facts. They who have read, and we grieve for those who have not, The Search after Happiness, The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, T is all for the Best, Tom White, the post-boy, Celebs in Search of a Wife, Village Politics, Strictures on Female Education, or Thoughts on the Manners of the Great, -need not be told, or, if they do, let these volumes instruct them, that Hannah More was the youngest but one of five sisters, all of whom dwelt to gether from their infancy in one family, and died unmarried in a good old age, She with a fame that heroes might envy, and they highly esteemed for their exemplary and singularly use Jul lives. Their father, Mr. Jacob More, was educated at Norwich with a view to the Church, by a brother of the cele bruted Dr. Samuel Clarke; but, disappointed in his _profss sioual prospects, he became master of a seminary for boys at Stapleton in Gloucestershire, where, in the memorable 1745, Miss Hannah was born. When she was twelve years old, her parents removed to Bristol, intending that their daugh-o ters should receive such an education as should qualify them to procure a respectable independence by the establishment of a boarding-school. Such a school was first opened by the eldest Miss More, who was not then twenty-one. She took charge, among her other pupils, of Hannah, who was then scarcely twelve. Thus, by the excellent Character and good sense of Miss More, the eldest of the family, was laid the foundation of a seminary, which afterwards flourished greatly.
