Life

Ann Murry was the daughter of a London wine merchant who became a private tutor after her father's business failed. Her most popular work, Mentoria (1778), was a dialogue between a governess and the children in her care, dealing with grammar, geography, etiquette, arithmetic, religion and history. The dialogue included anecdotes, classical and Bible stories and verse by Murry herself as well as by Milton, James Thomson and Pope.

By 1791 Murry had become preceptress in the royal nursery.
