ABSTRACT
SOME Account of tTte Taylor Family. In an article on this remarkable book, in the A tlantic Monthly, Mr. Moncure Conway thus writes:-" One of the daughters of Ben Mordecai (Rev. Henry Taylor) Elizabeth, appears to haveaet up as a medical practitioner in London, to give the poor aid and advice gratis; and as this was in 1782, she may be regarded as the first British physicia.n of her sex. Perhaps she did not know what a radical thing she was doing. Clearly the writer of another letter here, proposing to have a lady made parish clerk or pulpit reader (as she already is virtually) was unconscious of the fearfulness of his suggestion. It is even a curate who writes as follows of his aged clerk; I He is so weak as to be obliged to use crutches. His daughter officiates for him; she has an excellent voice, and reads very well indeed, and is much approved of. When old George is called hence, I wish to recommend her as his successor. She can easily procure assistance tor the graves: every other office she can do very well: the parish approves of her." The Hon. Mrs. Norton and MmTied Women. By ARTHUR ARNOLD.
