Reseña del editor
Hannah More. Had I wished to do so I should have discarded much of the present material and have felt it my duty to insert many passages that I have purposely omitted. My aim has been simply to present to my readers that picture of Hannah More which my researches and a careful perusal of her correspondence and works have left so vividly in my own mind. I should like to take this opportunity of pointing out one or two errors that have crept into current accounts of my subjects life. Hannah More was not born atS tapleton, but atF ishponds, in which place a tablet has recently been put up to her memory: she was the daughter of a highly educated schoolmaster, and not, as is stated in the Historical and Descriptive Catalogue of theN ational Portrait Gallery, the daughter of an exciseman. The portrait inS ir Walter Armstrong sbook of portraits by Raeburn which bears the name of Hannah More is that of some unknown lady ;it is no more Hannah More than it isM rs. Siddons or any other contemporary of hers whose features are familiar to theB ritish public. Not only are the features those of a much less refined and intellectual type of woman, but the lady in question sports a huge bracelet on her right arm, whereas it was a rule with Hannah More throughout her life that she would never wear any article of jewellery that was purely ornamental.
