Evidence: | [in prefatory essay by A. L. Barbauld] Quoted from 'a lady's' account of stays in Samuel Richardson's family home (c.1750s):
'As soon as Mrs Richardson arose, the beautiful Psalms in Smith's Devotions were read responsively in the nursery by herself, and daughters, standing in a circle [...] After breakfast the younger ones read to her in turns the Psalms, and lessons for the day.' |
