Excerpt from The Life of Hannah More: A Lady of Two Centuries In following the life and literary work of Mrs. Hannah More, we Shall see how she passed from the narrow View of literature prevailing in the circle Of fashlonable society, into sympathy with the deeper and more earnest spirit which more and more stirred the heart of the age, and wakened a wider love and concern for the interest of others. We shall also find that while she brought her literary ability into the service Of God and of her fellow-creatures, she could not part with many of the Old traditions as to the form and style Of literary composition, but when we think of her as the friend and favourite of Dr. Johnson in her youth, we can readily believe that while she held fast to the large-hearted care for the poor and distressed, something of which she may have leamed from him, She would find it difficult to drop those phrases and the Latinized style which he had held to be necessary to the dignity of a writer.
