With an appreciated breeze, Saints Gone Before is proud to present part 9 of Hannah More's Essays on Various Subjects. Today's reading is the final entry in this series. Hannah More lived in the 18th and 19th centuries, living life as a writer, abolitionist, and so much more. We gave a brief biography of Ms. More and this text back in episode 60, but I also recommend Karen Swallow Prior's biography Fierce Convictions: The Extraordinary Life of Hannah More, published in 2014.

Come back next time for Isaac Watts' sermon, "Holy Fortitude, or Remedies Against Fear"!
