| Evidence: | 'I suppose you shared the benefit, so common, thank God! in our generation, - of an early, & thorough familiarity with Mrs Barbauld's Prose Hymns. I know no book influence (out of the bible) at all to be compared to the hallowing & ripening influence of that little book.[...] I know of no woman's intellect like Mrs. Barbauld's.' |
