He was an amiable and benevolent man, so eager against the slave-trade, that when he drank tea with us, he always brought some East India sugar, that he might not share our wickedness in eating that made by the negro slave. Mrs. Barbauld, whose Evenings at Home had so much delighted Maria and her father, was very pretty, and conversed with great ability in admirable language.
Barbauld, towards the end of the century, expressed the same thought; and a great number of the more intelligent and moderate Dissenters would have agreed in it. On the general question, we are told that about the time of the Revolution of 1688 there was scarcely one Dissenter in a hundred who did not think the State was bound to use its authority in the interests of the religion of the people.
Barbauld Visit of Sir Walter Scott to Edgeworthstown Visit to Killarney with Scott and Lockhart Harry and Lucy Management of the estate Death of Lady Scott Visit from Sir Humphry Davy Vivian Grey and Almack's Sydney Smith's conversation Visit from Herschel Mrs. Mary Sneyd settles at Edgeworthstown Illness and recovery General interests and life at Edgeworthstown.
Barbauld, 'that pleonasm of nakedness' the idea of nakedness being reduplicated and reverberated in the bare and the bald.
All these are well known by those who know no other parts of Coleridge's poetry, and the length of our preceding remarks compels us to be brief in our notice. Mrs. Barbauld, meaning to be complimentary, told our poet, that she thought the "Ancient Mariner" very beautiful, but that it had the fault of containing no moral.
Sure I am, that one little girl will always remember the kind hand stretched out to seize her own, and the question after the manner of Mrs. Barbauld: "Child of mortality, whither goest thou?" His most remarkable personal characteristic was the power of expression in his face.
Barbauld, who may be included in that group of men and women who completely altered the style of teaching and writing for children Rousseau, de Genlis, the Edgeworths, Jacotot, Froebel, and Diesterweg, all great teachers, didactic, deadly-dull Mrs.
She was encouraged to pray that she might be seen of men men who scrutinised her with the eyes of desire. It is a woman, herself something of a "blue-stocking," who has left us the most pathetic statement of the intellectual fetters which her sex accepted. Women, says Mrs. Barbauld, "must often be content to know that a thing is so, without understanding the proof."
'Come, and I will show you what is beautiful. From the days of infancy still lingers in my ears this opening of a prose hymn by a lady, then very celebrated, viz., the late Mrs. Barbauld. The hymn began by enticing some solitary infant into some silent garden, I believe, or some forest lawn; and the opening words were, 'Come, and I will show you what is beautiful! Well, and what beside?
One would expect to hear that he was on terms of admiring intimacy with his contemporary, the good Mrs. Barbauld.
