Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs. Gilbert (Formerly Ann Taylor): With Portrait and Illustrations The Autobiography with which the work opens, passes to some extent over the same ground as the memoir of Jane Taylor by her brother; but as a personal narra tive of an almost unique family life, it is told very differently, and with large additions. It was addressed, it will be seen, to her Children, and some discursiveness has been corrected, but its Character of Domestic Re collections should be borne in mind. Yet the quaint personages, with their no less quaint surroundings, which appear in its pages, -the quiet Old English places, half town, half village, where they lived, reproduce the old Puritan life - homely, frugal, studious, which is perhaps only known to most Of us through the art of the novelist and it may be interesting to compare the real with the ideal picture. A later phase of Nonconformity, also, is displayed in the other portion of the work. The Autobiography ceases early, but it is believed that the loss will be compensated by the brightness and fresh ness of the extracts from correspondence, of which the rest is mainly composed. A few selections, poetical and other, taken from a mass of material, as illustrative Of character or circumstance, complete the portrait of a Clear and active mind, and Show the outlook of their author upon great questions, both Of this day and of every day.
