Premature death of a learned daughter

Long gap since my last post -- during which I've been trying to get the books catalogued, instead of getting distracted by going off at tangents investigating their provenance, and also sort out the ones which were hurriedly moved out during building works and then moved back in with no chance to keep them in any sort of order!

We recently received a large bequest from Patricia Norman, who studied Modern Languages at Somerville 1939-1942. The collection was mostly modern copies of English, French and Czech literature, but it also included a copy of Emblems Divine and Moral: Together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man, written by Francis Quarles and published in London in 1777. On the front fly-leaf is an inscription: "Jane Norton Bayley - Feb. 14th 1794 - The Gift of her Father the Revd C. Bayley DD Minister of St James's Church Manchester". I tried Googling "Bayley St James Manchester", not expecting to find much, but discovered that he was one of those distinguished but obscure clergymen of whom the old Dictionary of National Biography  was rather fond, from an interesting period in English religious history when Methodism was becoming distinct from Anglicanism. His father had been a Methodist, his mother an Anglican; he himself became a Methodist preacher, but was then ordained into the Church of England, although he continued to preach for the Methodists for a few years. He was himself responsible for the building of St James's, of which he was the first incumbent; he was a popular preacher, and also a noted Hebrew scholar. So then I tried Googling "Jane Norton Bayley", and discovered an obituary of her in The Christian Guardian  for January 1811: she had died the previous October, aged only 23, and is described as having been a student of the Scriptures in the original languages -- "was considered by those who knew her well, as a critic in the Hebrew, and could read the Greek Testament, with ease and fluency." So it seems entirely appropriate that she should be connected with a Somervillian who read Modern Languages.
