The Posthumous Works of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1

Note 17 — XIII. SOME THOUGHTS ON BIOGRAPHY.

Reading edition

In Mrs. Hannah More's drawing-room at Barley Wood, amongst the few pictures which adorned it, hung a kit-kat portrait of John Henderson. This, and our private knowledge that Mrs. H. M. had personally known and admired Henderson, led us to converse with that lady about him. What we gleaned from her in addition to the notices of Aguttar and of some amongst Johnson's biographers may yet see the light.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
