Book Description

Excerpt from A Solitary Evening Reverie at Home: In Memoriam of Eliza Wilkinson, Founder of the Leeds Unmarried Women's Benevolent Institution Though eminently qualified for society by the loveliness of her person and the graces of a refined and highly cultivated mind of no ordinary mould, her life was spent chiefly in separa tion from the world, and in devotion to works of faith and labours of love, of which the founding of the Leeds Unmarried Women's Benevolent Institution was her last and dying act. She, like Cowper's Cottager, was little known to the world, but the natural qualities of her disposition, and the graces of the spirit of Christ manifested in her life and conversation.
