Excerpt from The Family Pen, Vol. 1 of 2: Memorials, Biographical and Literary of the Taylor Family, of Ongar A short time before the Personal Recollections were written, my Father had employed his leisure hours in revising, enlarging, and re-arranging one of his earliest works, the Life of his sister, Jane Taylor, which first appeared in the year 182 5, soon after her death. This revised Memoir, which was left in readiness for publication, seemed to form an appropriate supplement to the Essay which is reprinted from Good Words. The juxtaposition of the two works, one almost the first, the other the last performance of the veteran author, shows in a striking manner the changes which the interval of forty years had wrought, not only in his literary style, but in his whole tone of thought.
