Samuel Richardson (1689–1761) was an English writer, best
known for his epistolary novels. He also worked as an established
publisher who printed almost 500 different books and magazines.
Regarded by many as a masterpiece, the novel “Clarissa; or, the
History of a Young Lady” tells the story of a young woman named
Clarissa Harlowe, whose way to happiness is constantly endangered by her own family. Pressured to marry a wealthy man, she
leaves her home with Robert Lovelace. Even then she can’t fi nd
peace, because Lovelace shows himself untrustworthy, spewing
vague promises of marriage without any attempts to move from
words to deeds.

VOLUME IX
LETTER I
Mr. Belford
[In Continuation.] Soho, Six O’clock, Sept. 7.
The lady is still alive. The Colonel having just sent his servant to let me know that she inquired after me about an hour
ago, I am dressing to attend her. Joel begs of me to dispatch
him back, though but with one line to gratify your present
impatience. He expects, he says, to fi nd you at Knightsbridge,
let him make what haste he can back; and, if he has not a line
or two to pacify you, he is afraid you will pistol him; for he
apprehends that you are hardly yourself. I therefore dispatch
this, and will have another ready, as soon as I can, with particulars. – But you must have a little patience; for how can
I withdraw myself every half hour to write, if I am admitted to
the lady’s presence, or if I am with the Colonel?
SMITH’S, EIGHT IN THE MORNING.
The lady is in a slumber. Mrs. Lovick, who sat up with her,
says she had a better night than was expected; for although
she slept little, she seemed easy; and the easier for the pious
frame she was in; all her waking moments being taken up in

devotion, or in an ejaculatory silence; her hands and eyes often
lifted up, and her lips moving with a fervour worthy of these
her last hours.
TEN O’CLOCK.
The Colonel being earnest to see his cousin as soon as she
awoke, we were both admitted. We observed in her, as soon as
we entered, strong symptoms of her approaching dissolution,
notwithstanding what the women had fl attered us with from
her last night’s tranquillity. – The Colonel and I, each loth to
say what we thought, looked upon one another with melancholy countenances.
The Colonel told her he should send a servant to her uncle
Antony’s for some papers he had left there; and asked if she
had any commands that way.
She thought not, she said, speaking more inwardly than she
did the day before. She had indeed a letter ready to be sent to
her good Norton; and there was a request intimated in it. But it
was time enough, if the request were signifi ed to those whom
it concerned when all was over. – However, it might be sent
them by the servant who was going that way. And she caused
it to be given to the Colonel for that purpose.
Her breath being very short, she desired another pillow.
Having two before, this made her in a manner sit up in her
bed; and she spoke then with more distinctness; and, seeing
us greatly concerned, forgot her own sufferings to comfort
us; and a charming lecture she gave us, though a brief one,
upon the happiness of a timely preparation, and upon the haz-
