Mrs. Sarah trimmer, the author of this book, was born in Ipswich, England, in 1741, and died seventy years afterwards. She was the daughter of J. J. Kirby, an architect, at one time celebrated for his writings on the subject Of architecture.
The first Sunday Schools were started in England when she was a little more than twenty years old, and she occupied herself actively in promoting them. She was a woman Of more than the average education and accomplishment of her day, and enjoyed the friendship Of Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and nearly all of the more celebrated English authors and painters' of that time.
She wrote a great many books, which were chiefly of a religious educational character; they are now nearly all of them dead and forgotten; but one of them at least has lived, and has been the delight of thousands of children for over three quarters Of a century.
Her History of the Robins became popular as soon as it was published, and has never since ceased to be so; it has been issued in all styles and sizes, and at all prices.
