Ann Baynard

Ann Baynard

Ann Baynard (sometimes spelled Anne) (Born 1672 Preston, Lancashire, England - June 12 1697 , Barnes, Surrey) was a British natural philosopher and model of piety. Oxford Biography ]

Like most young women of her class, Ann Baynard was tutored by her father, Henry Gardiner Adams, Cyclopaedia of Female Biography, 1857 ] Lindley Murray, The Power of Religion on the Mind, 1859] who was a member of the Royal College of Physicians in London. Her education encompassed classical languages and philosophy as well as science and mathematics, preparing her for a scholarly life. Considered in her time an exemplar of piety and virtue, her erudition was directed to the elucidation of Protestant theology; she disdained secular learning for its own sake. Although she wrote a number of texts in Latin and English, none has survived.

Her epitaph read: "The Environs of London: volume 1" by Daniel Lysons on Barnes.]

:"Here lies that happy maiden, who often said,:"That no man is happy until he is dead;":"That the business of life is but playing the fool",:"Which hath no relation to saving the soul:":"For all the transaction that's under the sun,":"Is doing of nothing—if that be not done,":"All wisdom and knowledge does lie in this one."::"Anne Baynard obiit June 12. An. ætat. suæ 25. Christi 1697."::"O mortales! quotusquisque vestrum cogitet ex hoc momento pendet æternitas."

Quotation

:"I would wish that all young persons might be exhorted to read the great book of nature, wherein they may see the wisdom and power of the Creator, in the order of the universe, and in the production of all things." -Anne Baynard, 1697
