[About The Author.]..Hannah Moore [1745-1833]..The Evangelical philanthropist Hannah More (1745-1833) provides an indispensable link between the Georgian and Victorian periods. Born just before the last Jacobite rebellion, she lived to see the beginnings of the railway age. In her youth she was the friend of David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, and Horace Walpole. In middle age she was closely connected with William Wilberforce and his fellow Evangelicals in the Clapham sect. In her retirement she welcomed two promising children to her home in Somerset, William Ewart Gladstone and Thomas Babington Macaulay.
