GILBERT (1782-1866), and JANE (1783-1824) were, like their brother, taught the art of engraving.  In 1804-5 they jointly wrote Original Poems for Infant Minds, followed by Rhymes for the Nursery and Hymns for Infant Minds.  Among those are the little poems, “My Mother” and “Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,” known to all well-conditioned children.  Jane was also the author of Display, a tale (1815), and other works, including several hymns, of which the best known is “Lord, I would own Thy tender Care.”  The hereditary talents of the family were represented in the next generation by CANON ISAAC T. (1829-1901), the s. of Isaac last mentioned, who, in addition to The Liturgy and the Dissenters, pub. works in philology and archaeology, including Words and Places and Etruscan Researches; and by JOSIAH GILBERT, s. of Ann T., an accomplished artist, and author of The Dolomite Mountains, Cadore, or Titian’s Country, and ed. of the Autobiography of his mother.
