of credit, for some of his productions, it must be admitted, are such as to call up a blush on the cheek of modesty, so that it will not be in his power, at the close of his mortal career, to take a retrospect of his labors and say with the amiable Thomson, "there is not a line which I could wish to blot." Of this our author seems to be aware, for some of his most reprehensible performances have been sent into the world under fictitious names, but with such little solicitude for concealment, that we believe he has never once disavowed any of them.

MORE, HANNAH. This distinguished ornament of her sex was one of the five daughters of a village school-master in the parish of Hanham, near Bristol. Her parents were so meanly situated as to be incapable of giving her that education which she desired. The casual reading of an odd volume of Richardson's Pame la, excited a thirst of knowledge which could not be allayed, and the kindness of some ladies in the neighbourhood enabled her to gratify her inclinations.

Even this good work, however, could not escape opposition, and sorry we are to record, that the attack came from a quarter which ought to have provided the most prompt and zealous support to the disinterested and Christian undertaking. A sharp controversy was carried on by a neighbouring clergyman against the schools, and several others in their favor: but, to the honor of the founder herself, she took no part in the strife, leaving the fruits to justify both her motives and her conduct. When the education of the Princess Charlotte became an object of serious attention to her illustrious friends, Mrs. Hannah More was consulted by the first lady in the kingdom, on which occasion she published a work which was deservedly stamped with the royal approbation, as well as that of the world at large. For some years past, this valuable woman has been confined almost wholly to her bed, by an excruciating illness, notwithstanding which writing is her chief delight, and in this condition she has actually produced some of her most esteemed per formances, particularly a religious novel, calculated to render that species of literary amusement more serviceable to the Iit.

We cannot close this article without observing that this excellent woman enumerated among her most intimate friends, the late Dr. Johnson, Bishop Porteus, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Dr. Beattie, and Mrs. Montague, so that her memoirs will, at a future period, be one of the most interesting pieces of biography in the history of literature.
