Prince Hohenloe


To Lady Olivia Sparrow, January 7 1813

I am going once more with great delight thro' Leighton's Commentary on St. Peter.* Yet sweet, devout, and spiritual as it is, I am not sure whether I do not prefer his Volume of Sermons.* I could have spared some of his other things if he had given us the rich legacy of another Volume of /the/ Sermons.


To Lady Olivia Sparrow, March 18 1813

A young divine, a great friend of mine the , being lately brought to a very serious sense of religion has just entered the Church, and having preached only 4 Sermons of truly serious piety caught cold and is supposed to be consumptive – The Physicians immediately sent him abroad He is now at Gibraltar, is going to Malta, Sicily &c – He has letters to , should he chance to see him, but it just occurs to me that you would perhaps have the goodness to name him to Lady Wm.. – He is a very elegant young Man modest, well manner'd, &c –


Hannah More to Thomas Cadell Junior, November 1823

I am thankful to say that my health is greatly improved. If I were a disciple of Prince Hohenloe* it would be called a Miracle. I do not go out, but am able to see my friends. Indeed my finds fault that I see too much company, but I cannot well avoid it, tho I suffer upon it. I hope you will recommend my friend ‘Plymouth Antinomians’*. It ably exposes the worst heresy that ever infected the Church.


Hannah More to Thomas Cadell Junior, 23 March 1825

You will see /by/ my scrawl that I cannot recover the free [use] of my hand, I cannot use it with impunity. I hope yourself and family continue to enjoy health and all other needful blessings My own health is so far restored that if I were a disciple of Prince Hoenloe I shall be reckoned a Miracle
