A famous example of a text sampler was made by Elizabeth Parker (Sussex, England), in which she starts the very long text with: "As I cannot write I put this down simply and freely as I might speak to a person to whose intimacy and tenderness I can fully entrust myself and who I know will bear with all my weaknesses." (c. 1830; Victoria and Albert Museum, acc. no. T.6-1956).
