Much has been said, and many opposite conclusions drawn, as to the religious character of Caroline. In _our_ days, such a woman would not be allowed to wear the reputation of being religious. In _her_ days, she may with more justice have been considered so. And yet she was far below a standard of much elevation. When we hear her boasting--or rather asserting, as convinced of the fact--that ‘she had made it the business of her life to discharge her duty to God and man in the best manner she was able,’ we have no very favourable picture of her humility; though at the same time we may acquit her of hypocrisy.
