“DORRIFORTH, bred at St. Omer's in all the scholastic rigour of that college, was by education, and the solemn vows of his order, a Roman Catholic priest-but nicely discriminating between the philosophical and the superstitious part of that character, and adopting the former only, he possessed qualities not unworthy the first professors of Christianity-every virtue which it was his vocation to preach, it was his care to practise; nor was he in the class of those of the religious, who, by secluding themselves from the world, fly the merit they might have in reforming mankind.”
An English novelist, actress, and dramatist. Her two novels are still read today (<a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Inchbald>Wikipedia</a>).
