Excerpt from The Express: No; I "My Express Must Fly"

J oanna Southcott began writing in 1792, as the spirit spoke to her inner ear audibly. Later on she did not write herself, but, as she heard, repeated it unhesitatingly to her two handmaids in the work, Jane Townley, a lady of fortune, and Ann Underwood, her maidservant; thus in the mouth of two witnesses every word is established. She persevered amidst immense difficulties for twenty years; and her published writings, contained in about nine volumes, with an average of 500 pages, besides an equal amount of unpublished mss., are a stupendous monument to their industry and whole-hearted devotion to what they firmly believed to be God's own work.

Her name is scarcely known to the present generation, and the little that can be gleaned from sketches of her life in encyclopaedias is so erroneous and untrue that it is only misleading. It is said that she claimed to be the Bride - the Lamb's Wife and stated that she was to become the mother of Shiloh, but that it all proved a delusion owing to the disappearance of the child, and that she died of dropsy.
