| Evidence: | [Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 25 November 1765:]
'Abp. Leighton's works are great favourites with me at present. There is, I think, the best exposition of the Lord's Prayer I ever read; were I to educate a child, instead of teaching it prayers by rote, I would, as soon as it was old enough to comprehend any thing, read to it with proper familiarisations the most striking parts of this exposition, till it had learnt that one prayer word by word, with full sense of the meaning of every one.' |
