Hannah More: Sunday schools, education and youth work

On the one hand, it can be argued that her view of women's education was more progressive than many others within the middle classes at the time.  She made many excellent observations on the subject, pointing out that it was unjust to keep women ignorant and scorn them for it, holding that education should be a preparation for life rather than an adornment; she advocated only for exceptional girls the classical education which she and her sisters had received.

The trust was handed over to a Bristol merchant and eventually to the poetess.
. . .
At Bristol she discovered a poetess in Mrs Anne Yearsley (1756-1806), a milkwoman, and raised a considerable sum of money for her benefit.
. . .
Some verses on Garrick's Lear led to an acquaintance with the actor-playwright; Miss More was taken up by Elizabeth Montague; and her unaffected enthusiasm,simplicity, vivacity, and wit won the hearts of the whole Johnson set, the lexicographer himself included, although he is said to have told her that she should "consider what her flattery was worth before she choked him with it." Garrick wrote the prologue and epilogue for her tragedy Percy, which was acted with great success at Covent Garden in December 1777.
. . .
Sydney Smith attacked it with violence in the Edinburgh Review for its general priggishness.
. . .
Two million copies of these rapid and telling sketches were circulated in one year, teaching the poor in rhetoric of most ingenious homeliness to rely upon the virtues of content, sobriety, humility, industry, reverence for the British Constitution, hatred of the French, trust in God and in the kindness of the gentry.
. . .
In her old age, philanthropists from all parts made pilgrimages to see the bright and amiable old lady, and she retained all her faculties till within two years of her death, dying at Clifton, where the last five years of her life were spent, on the 7th of September 1833.

Hannah More's Slavery Poems - Brycchan Carey - Home Page

Hero, or robber!--by whatever name Thou plead thy impious claim to wealth or fame; Whether inferior mischiefs be thy boast,                215 A petty tyrant rifling Gambia's coast: 16 Or bolder carnage track thy crimson way, Kings disposses'd, and Provinces thy prey; Panting to tame wide earth's remotest bound; All Cortez murder'd, all Columbus found;                220 O'er plunder'd realms to reign, detested Lord, Make millions wretched, and thyself abhorr'd;---- In Reason's eye, in Wisdom's fair account, Your sum of glory boasts a like amount; The means may differ, but the end's the same;                225 Conquest is pillage with a nobler name.
. . .
   O thou sad spirit, whose preposterous yoke The great deliver Death, at length, has broke!
. . .
               150 Tho' wit may boast a livelier dread of shame, A loftier sense of wrong refinement claim; Tho' polished manners may fresh wants invent, And nice distinctions nicer souls torment; Tho' these on finer spirits heavier fall,                155 Yet natural evils are the same to all.
. . .
Where ignorance will be found the surest plea, How many learn'd and wise shall envy thee!
. . .
Strange pow'r of song! the strain that warms the heart Seems the same inspiration to impart; Author of the Tragedy of Oronoko 4 Touch'd by the kindling energy alone,               45 We think the flame which melts us is our own; Deceiv'd, for genius we mistake delight, Charm'd as we read, we fancy we can write.
. . .
No: sordid lust of gold their fate controls, The basest appetite of basest souls; 10 Gold, better gain'd, by what their ripening sky, Their fertile fields, their arts and mines supply.
