Sainuei Richardson (1689-1761), the son of a 
joiner, w L;o ccv.ie 
to 
London and was apprenticed as a printer. He remain

throughout his life and followed the path o f the v." .. : 
successful apprentice, even to marrying his master's dat^./w

and, as a result, gained from him a proposal of marriage, which 
she 
gleefully accepted. Clarissa was virtuous but a lady. Tormented 
by 
the pressure o f her family, which urged on her a detestable
