HANNAH CHAPMAN BACKHOUSE.

_Died_ 6_th of_ 5_th month_, 1850.
Hannah Chapman Backhouse was the daughter of Joseph and Jane Gurney; she
was born at Norwich the 9th of 2nd Month, 1787. Of her very early life
she has left but little record. She disliked study, and was fond of
boyish sports, until about the age of thirteen, when she began to feel
enjoyment in reading.
Possessed of a naturally powerful and energetic mind, with talents of a
very superior order, she soon began to take great delight in study, and
was ambitious to excel in every thing that she undertook. Drawing she
pursued with intense eagerness, and in this and other acquirements, she
made great proficiency. Until about the age of seventeen, her highest
enjoyment was derived from the cultivation of the intellectual powers,
and in the endeavour to raise these to their highest perfection, she
imagined the greatest happiness to consist.
