"In writing this life, Miss Yonge has found a sympathetic subject. It has been a labour of love, and in her hands the history of Miss Hannah More becomes one of the ablest and most attractive of the series to which it belongs."—Morning Post.

"Miss Yonge has succeeded in drawing a very bright and engaging picture of an 'Eminent Woman,' to whom England, though it may not remember the fact, really owes a very great deal."—Globe.

"The story of Hannah More's busy life is interesting in itself, and instructive in showing what a woman can do for the cause of religion and education. Miss Yonge has imparted a new interest to the story by the admirable manner in which she has told it. The work will enhance the reputation of the series in which it appears."—Scotsman.

"This succinct and luminous biography, with its personal sketches, happy citations, and easy style, conveys a true and often vivid picture of one who certainly merits a place among eminent Englishwomen."—Public Opinion.

"Mrs. Browning's outer life was uneventful; her inner life is in her own books, so there is not much left for the biographer. What there is, however, has been well put together by Mr. Ingram in this well-written and instructive volume. The work is a valuable addition to a good series of books, and will form a companion to Mrs. Browning's poems such as their readers have often wished for."—Scotsman.

"Mr. Ingram rises fully to the opportunities of his work, and has given us a cultured, appreciatory, and eloquent biography oof [sic] England's greatest poetess."—Home News.
