He died in 1826 and she became a school teacher in Hackney and prolific author to support herself. Her collection Sonnets and Other Poems contains many pro-war poems. She wrote a number of books published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, whose stories didactically instruct children on their responsibilities. Her conservative political tracts include 1832's pro-slavery An Address to the Females of Great Britain and 1852's Remarks Occasioned by Strictures, which inveighed against American women for not doing more to end slavery.
