| General note | "The fair was held for the benefit of the Blind asylum at South Boston. Rev. E.E. Hale ascribes the authorship to Fanny Inglis, afterwards SeƱora Calderon de la Barca."--Sabin. Other sources identify George Parish, Jr., who published an apology for the piece, as the author. According to a ms. note made by Henry Austin Whitney in a copy held by the American Antiquarian Society, "The author of this clever squib was Miss Fanny Inglis. As it excited no little social excitement, Mr. Parish (afterward Baron?) assumed the authorship." The character "Mr. Kirchspiel" is identified as Parish in annotated copies. |
