Note 6 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
Mrs. Barbauld (Anna Letitia Aikin), b. 1743; d. 1825. There is a pleasant sketch of Mrs. Barbauld and (for a wonder) an approving and commendatory notice of her in Miss Martineau's Autobiography, vol. i., pp. 228-39.
Miss Martineau's father, it appears, had been a pupil of Mrs. Barbauld.
