[A] Hannah More, The Works, vol. IV: Hints towards forming the character of a young princess (1834)

An example of how reader responses can be found within the pages of published books. Here, More cites the books she has read and engages in discussion of their ideas and arguments.

At a time when history was not formally taught at schools, this kind of book is useful because it was written to help young readers (especially in this case girls) choose which books to read and educate them about how to read them.
