Note:
Elizabeth Moody died 1814. Poetic Trifles is her first collection and contains poems addressed to Erasmus Darwin, Mrs. Trimmer, Joseph Priestly, and John Opie the painter, also a poem, written in 1786, entitled "Dr. Johnson's Ghost (on Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides). She married Christopher Lake Moody, a clergyman who lived at Surbiton Farm, where he was a neighbour of Ralph Griffiths, editor of the Monthly Review. Between 1789 and 1808 Elizabeth Moody contributed to the Monthly Review, usually dealing with fiction, which, as she stated in 1790, she believed had been dominated by women in the later decades of the century. She seems to have been the first reviewer used on anything approaching a regular basis by Ralph Griffiths.
