---. [Biographical series of pamphlets: Elizabeth Smith, Hannah Kilham, Ann H. Judson, Mrs. Barbauld, Hannah More and Her Sisters, Mrs. M. L. Duncan, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Trimmer, Sarah Martin ]. London: Cash, 1854.

British Library. The binding and cataloguing obscure the contents. E.g.: Ann H. Judson turns out to be a handy little book with “Missionaries” printed on its cover, containing a life of Judson followed unexpectedly by a life of Kilham. “Philanthropists: Second Series” has Martin followed by Mary Lundie Duncan. Grouping makes the onomastic system of cataloguing more fallible.

Bridget; The daughters of Bridget; S. Itha; S. Hilda; S. Elfleda; S. Werburga; A prophetess; S. Clara; S. Theresa; Sister Dora.

Title page: S. Baring-Gould, "Author of The Lives of the Saints. With sixteen full-page illustrations by F. Anger." New York Times obituary notes Rev. S. Baring-Gould's death on 5 June 1906 on shipboard at Port Elizabeth (dateline Cape Town, Cape Colony, June 4). An English clergyman (M.A. Oxford 1860) who traveled to and wrote about Iceland, he wrote many books on myth, church history, and medieval and regional histories. His version of Sister Dora is largely reprinted in Mabie and Stephens, Heroines Every Child Should Know. Viewing Sister Dora as a "double" of Saint Theresa with more practical achievement, Baring-Gould weighs the evidence for Sister Dora's sanctity in various accounts, including Lonsdale's biography.

Beaton, Cecil. The Book of Beauty. London: Duckworth, 1930.

British Library. Frontispiece: cartoonish painting of Queen Alexandra; titlepage vignette: drawing of a generic beauty under glass. Edition limited to 110, signed No. 110. Thirty-nine subjects, including Lillie Langtry, the Beaton sisters, Miss Edith Sitwell, Mrs. Virginia Woolf, Miss Tallulah Bankhead, Miss Lilian Gish, Miss Norma Shearer, Miss Greta Garbo, Miss Gertrude Lawrence, Miss Anita Loos, Lady Cunard. Some women of rank. “Unlike other children, my greatest heroines were not the Maid of Orleans or the Lady of the Lamp [sic], but Lily Elsie, Gabrielle Ray and Queen Alexandra” (1). “There will be disagreement about my choice. . . far from complete” (3). This “is the first attempt at an up-to-date version of the old books of beauty” with their stylized scenes “unreal but divinely pretty” (4). In modern times, women reincarnate famous types: “Mrs. Peter Thursby as our Nell Gwynne, Lady Juliet Duff as Mrs. Siddons; Lady Hamilton imitated the plastic poses of Cleo, Agrippina and Diana [sic], and Lady Lavery poses as Lady Hamilton. But how many of these beauties . . . will make history?” (5). “Mrs. Virginia Woolf is one of the most gravely distinguished-looking women I have ever seen. . . . She has all the chaste and sombre beauty of village schoolmistresses, housekeepers, and nuns. . . . one realises that a face can be a reverend and sacred thing”: a heroine like Mrs. Dalloway, unsuited to makeup (37-38).
