Anne Mozley|1809|1891| Anne Mozley (born 1809 died 1891), author, sister of Thomas and J. B. Mozley, both of whom are separately noticed, was born at Gainsborough on 17 September 1809, and in 1815 removed with the rest of the family to Derby. She took charge of her brother Thomas's house when he became curate of Buckland in 1832, and devoted herself to literary work. In 1837 she published 'Passages from the Poets', in 1843 a volume of 'Church Poetry', in 1845 'Days and Seasons', and in 1849 'Poetry Past and Present'. From 1847 she reviewed books for the 'Christian Remembrancer'. In 1859 she wrote for 'Bentley's Quarterly' a review of 'Adam Bede', which George Eliot described as 'the best review we have seen'. From 1861 to 1877 Miss Mozley contributed to the 'Saturday Review', and two volumes of these essays, one of which reached a fourth edition, were reprinted under the title 'Essays on Social Subjects'. In 1865 she began to write for ' Blackwood's Magazine'. After the death of her mother in 1867, Anne lived with her youngest sister at Barrow-on-Trent. She subsequently returned to Derby, where she died on 27 June 1891. Like her brother Thomas, Miss Mozley suffered from partial loss of sight, which became total two years before her death. Besides the works already mentioned Miss Mozley edited ' The Letters of J. B. Mozley', 1885, octavo, and 'The Letters and Correspondence of Cardinal Newman', 2 vols., 1891, octavo. A volume of 'Essays from Blackwood ' was reprinted in 1892, Edinburgh, octavo, to which was prefixed a memoir by Dr. John Wordsworth, bishop of Salisbury.
