Memoir of the Late Hannah Kilham: Chiefly Compiled from Her Journal (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir of the Late Hannah Kilham: Chiefly Compiled From Her Journal

At fourteen years of age she was sent to a boarding-school in Chesterfield, where she con ducted herself to much satisfaction, and made so much progress in the study of grammar as to dis please her master, who, in those days, when that science was not taught to girls, thought her over stepping the bounds of the female province. At sixteen she returned home, and, from changes in the family, was thrown into gay life; but its vani ties never were agreeable to her, and she entered into its follies principally to satisfy her relations and friends.
