      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              Anglo-Irish art historian.              Said things about language:       "....we are not sufficiently careful to habituate children to the       accurate use of words."              This is from her _Commonplace Book of Thoughts, Memories and Fancies_       (1855). The "commonplace book" is a totally forgotten genre -- or does       it perhaps survive without the name?              She also spent two years in Canada (1836-1838), and wrote _Winter       Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada)_, which sounds interesting.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Brownell_Jameson              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
