About this book
The book is titled Memorials of the Life of Amelia Opie. The preface says that in the preparation of these Memoirs for publication, the principal part of the labour has been undertaken by the daughter of the person writing the preface. The preface also says that, as the Executor of Mrs. Opie, the preface's writer received her papers and letters.
In a recollection told in the first person, a mother who was as firm from principle as she was gentle in disposition made her child take a beetle in hand, to cure a first fear and convince the child it would not hurt. A journal-keeper bought cakes for the children, went to Infant School, and went thence to the jail, where two new women were found. A first-person account of a great loss says that someone who came to take leave said he was to be gone a month, and that he wanted rest. The text says that in the course of this autumn Mrs. Opie paid several short visits to her friends in the neighbourhood of Norwich, the last of which was to Keswick Hall.
