[Elizabeth Carter to Elizabeth Vesey, 25 July 1779:] 'I do not wonder you were struck by Mrs Barbauld's Hymns. They are all excellent, but there are some passages amazingly sublime. Amongst these is the manner in which she introduces the Saviour, after the description of the devastations of death, as the restorer of life and immortality.'
