Edward King, Viscount Kingsborough

The pamphlet seems also to have advanced her credit as a teacher.

After giving up her day school, she spent some weeks at Eton with the Reverend Mr. Pryor, one of the masters there, who recommended her as governess to the daughters of Lord Kingsborough, an Irish viscount, eldest son of the Earl of Kingston.

Her way of teaching was by winning love, and she obtained the warm affection of the eldest of her pupils, who became afterwards Countess Mount Cashel.

In the summer of 1787, Lord Kingsborough's family, including Mary Wollstonecraft, was at Bristol Hotwells before going to the continent.

While there, Mary Wollstonecraft wrote her little tale published as Mary, a fiction, wherein there was much based on the memory of her own friendship for Fanny Blood.

The publisher of Mary Wollstonecraft's Thoughts on the Education of Daughters was the same Joseph Johnson who, in 1885, was the publisher of Cowper's Task.

For this she received ten guineas, with which she was able to help her friends, the Bloods.

She shortly afterwards accepted a situation as governess in Lord Kingsborough's family, where she was much loved by her pupils, but their mother, who did little to gain their affection herself, becoming jealous of the ascendancy of Mary over them, found some pretext for dismissing her.

Mary's contact, while in this house, with people of fashion, inspired her only with contempt for their small pleasures and utterly unintellectual discourse.

These surroundings, although she was treated much on a footing of equality by the family, were a severe privation for Mary, who was anxious to develop her mind, and to whom spiritual needs were ever above physical.

On leaving the Kingsboroughs, Mary found work of a kind more congenial to her disposition, as Mr. Johnson, the bookseller in St. Paul's Churchyard, who had taken her pamphlet, now gave her regular work as his reader, and also in translating.

Now began the happiest part of Mary's life.

In the midst of books, she soon formed a circle of admiring friends.

An ark, or arga, was one of the universal sacred symbols which we find alike in India, Chaldea, Assyria, Egypt, Greece, and amongst the Celtic peoples.

Lord Kingsborough, in his Mexican Antiquities, volume 8, page 250, says, As among the Jews the Ark was a sort of portable temple in which the deity was supposed to be continually present, so among the Mexicans, the Cherokees and the Indians of Michoacan and Honduras, an Ark was held in the highest veneration and was considered an object too sacred to be touched by any but the priests.

As to religious architecture, we find on both sides of the Atlantic that one of the earliest sacred buildings is the pyramid.

Doubtful as are the uses for which these structures were originally intended, one thing is clear, that they were closely connected with some religious idea or group of ideas.

herSome of her friends at Newington Green recommended her to the notice of Mr. Pryor, then assistant master of Eton and his wife.

Through them she was offered the situation of governess to the children of Lord Kingsborough, an Irish nobleman.

If she accepted it, she would be spared the anxiety which a school of her own had heretofore brought her.

The salary would be forty pounds a year out of which she calculated she could pay her debts and then assist Mrs. Bishop.

I should be shut out from society, she explained to George Blood, and be debarred the pleasures of imperfect friendship as I should on every side be surrounded by unequals.

To live only on terms of civility and common benevolence without any interchange of little acts of kindness and tenderness would be to me extremely irksome.

The prospect, it must be admitted, was not pleasant but still the advantages outweighed the drawbacks and Mary agreed to Lady Kingsborough's terms.

Mr. and Mrs. Pryor intended taking a trip to Ireland and they suggested that she should accompany them.
