Mary Darby : poems

'[At boarding school in Chelsea] I applied rigidly to study, and acquired a taste for books, which has never, from that time, deserted me. Mrs [Meribah] Lorrington frequently read to me after school hours, and I to her: I sometimes indulged my fancy in writing verses, or composing rebuses; and my governess never failed to applaud the juvenile compositions I presented to her.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Meribah Lorrington      Manuscript: Unknown
