J. Kirby, an architect, at one time celebrated for his writings on the subject Of architecture. The first Sunday Schools were started in England when she was a little more than twenty years old, and she occupied herself actively in promoting them.

She wrote a great many books, which were chie y of a religious educational character; they are now nearly all of them dead and forgotten; but one of them at least has lived, and has been the delight of thousands of children for over three quarters Of a century.
