Evidence: | In Letter XXI, "Letters on Daily Life" (addressed to 'C___'), on the
correspondent's supposedly having mentioned to her her feeling that 'government of the thoughts' was 'an impossibility':
'I can recollect the book which first brought to me the conviction that such mental control was a duty. It was a volume of short essays and stories, called [italics]The Contributions of Q.Q.[end italics], by Jane Taylor, the well-known author of [italics]Hymns for Infant Minds[end italics]. It brought me a new idea just at the time when I most needed the help [...] I am glad to be able to acknowledge thankfully the aid that this old-fashioned, book, with its quaint title, afforded me.' |

Correspondent, and comment, being responded to are possibly fictional (Sewell states in her preface to this work that the Letters are addressed to imaginary pupils). |
