Elizabeth Harrison : Miscellanies
'Th authours of the essays in prose [in "Miscellanies" published by Elizabeth Harrison] seem generally to have imitated or tried to imitate, the copiousness and luxuriance of Mrs [italics] Rowe [end italics]. This, however, is not all their praise; they have laboured to add to her brightness of imagery, her purity of sentiments. The poets have had Dr [italics] Watts [end italics] before their eyes; a writer, who, if he stood not in the first class of genius, compensated that defect by a ready application of his powers to the promotion of piety'.
