Synopsis
Excerpt from Hannah More: A Biographical Study
I should like to take this opportunity of pointing out one or two errors that have crept into current accounts of my subject's life. Hannah More was not born at Stapleton, but at Fishponds, in which place a tablet has recently been put up to her memory: she was the daughter of a highly educated schoolmaster, and not, as is stated in the Historical and Descriptive Catalogue of the National Portrait Gallery, the daughter of an exciseman. The portrait in Sir Walter Armstrong's book of portraits by Raeburn which bears the name of Hannah More is that of some unknown lady; it is no more Hannah More than it is Mrs. Siddons or any other contemporary of hers whose features are familiar to the British public. Not only are the features those of a much less refined and intellectual type of woman, but the lady in question sports a huge bracelet on her right arm, whereas it was a rule with Hannah More through out her life that she would never wear any article of jewellery that was purely ornamental.
