Gilbert, and TAYLOR, JANE (1783-1824), See also:English writers for See also:children, daughters of See also:Isaac Taylor (1759-1829), were See also:born in See also:London on the 3oth of See also:January 1782 and the 23rd of See also:September 1783 respectively. In 1786 the Taylors went to live at Lavenham in See also:Suffolk, and ten years later removed to See also:Colchester. Jane was a lively and entertaining See also:child, and composed plays and poems at a very See also:early See also:age. Their See also:father and See also:mother held advanced views on See also:education, and under their guidance the girls were instructed not only in their father's See also:art of See also:engraving, but in the principles of fortification. Their poems were written in See also:short intervals in the See also:round of each See also:day's occupations. Ann introduced herself to the publishers Darton and See also:Harvey by a rhymed See also:answer to a See also:puzzle in the See also:Minor's See also:Pocket See also:Book for 1799, and Jane made her first See also:appearance in See also:print in the same periodical with u The See also:Beggar Boy." The publishers then wrote to Isaac Taylor asking for more verses for children from his See also:family, and the result was See also:Original Poems for See also:Infant Minds (2 vols., 1804-5), by " several See also:young persons," of whom Ann and Jane were the largest contributors. The book had an immediate and lasting success. It went through numerous See also:editions, and was translated into See also:German, Dutch and See also:Russian. Ann and Jane Taylor wrote directly for children, and viewed events and morals from the nursery standpoint. They had many imitators, but few serious rivals in their own See also:kind, except perhaps Mrs See also:Elizabeth See also:Turner. They followed up this success with Rhymes for the Nursery (1806), See also:Hymns for Infant Minds (18o8, 2nd ed. 181o), a less-known collection, Signor Tops)
Turvy's Wonderful Magic See also:Lantern; or, The See also:World Turned Upside Down (1810), and Original Hymns for See also:Sunday School (1812). In 1813 Ann married a Congregational See also:minister, the Rev. See also:Josiah Gilbert, and Jane went to live at See also:Ilfracombe with her See also:brother Isaac. In 1816 Jane returned to Ongar, where the family had been settled for some years, and died there on the 13th of See also:April 1824. Mrs Gilbert died at See also:Nottingham on the loth of See also:December 1866. Both sisters wrote after their separation, but none of their later See also:works had the same See also:vogue. Jane showed more wit and vivacity than her See also:sister, notably in the Contributions of Q. Q. (2 vols., 1824), and in Display, a See also:Tale for Young See also:People (1815); but, though she was generally supposed to be the See also:chief writer of the two, some of the most famous pieces in their See also:joint works, such as " I thank the goodness and the See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace," " Meddlesome Matty," " The Notorious See also:Glutton," &c., are by Ann.
The best edition of the Poetical Works of the sisters is that of 1877. There is an excellent edition (1903) of the Original Poems and Others, by Ann and Jane Taylor and See also:Adelaide O'Keeffe, edited by E. V. See also:Lucas, with illustrations by F. D. See also:Bedford.
Abundant See also:information about Ann and Jane Taylor is to be found in: Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs Gilbert (2 vols., 1874). edited by her son Josiah Gilbert; Isaac Taylor, See also:Memoirs ... of Jane Taylor (2 vols., 1825), and the collection by the same editor entitled The Family See also:Pen: Memorials ... of the Taylor Family of Ongar, vol. ii. (1867).
