A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Hopkins, Louisa Payson
HOPKINS, LOUISA PAYSON,
Daughter of the Rev. Dr. Payson, distinguished for his learning and piety, and wife of the Rev. Mr. Hopkins, professor in Williams College, Massachusetts, has written a number of works for the young, which are greatly valued for their excellent mode of illustrating the Bible and its doctrines. Among her books published previously to her marriage, was "The Pastor's Daughter," which gave its author a high reputation for talents as well as religions zeal. Her latest work is, "The Guiding Star; or the Bible God's Message," a sequel to "Henry Langdon, or, What was I made for?" published in 1846. These two books contain, well arranged and; clearly set forth, such evidences of the truth of God's revealed Word, as must make the Bible History interesting to the youngest child who can read it, and furnish to the mother a manual for the edification of her own mind, as well as a guide to aid in instructing her family. Mrs. Hopkins should hold a high rank among Christian writers.
