HANNAH MORE, robbery, profligacy, and disorder. She was com- pelled to quit Barley Wood, so endeared ',y tender reminiscences, -" driven like Eve," she said, " from Paradise, but not, like Eve, by angels, " - going, in 1828, to reside at Clifton, where a young friend - Miss Frowd-devoted herself to her during the remaining years of her life. She became more and more subject to alarming recurrences of illness ; until nature, shrinking from further conflict, at length succumbed, and on September 7, 1833, the gentle, philanthropic, pious, and patriotic Hannah More expired at the age of eighty-eight, in the arms of her good young friends, Miss Frowd and Miss Roberts. A long life of incalculable usefulness and benevo- lence was closed by a death full of placid resignation and holy Christian trust. She was laid in the churchyard at Wrington, beside those beloved sisters with whom she had lived for so many years in har- mony and love, her funeral being of the plainest description, in accordance with her desire ; the bells of all the churches were tolled as the cortege passed through Bristol, and lines of weeping villagers formed on either side of the road, each with some sign of mourning, however poor. 7/401.-c-}
