Mrs Hale born (24/10/1788)

[Ross Clark]

Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879)
"American writer, activist, and editor of the most widely circulated
magazine in the period before the Civil War, Godey's Lady's Book." (Wiki)

And
"Mary had a little lamb..."
which appears for the first time in her book _Poems for Our Children_ (1830)

And
_Northwood_ (1827), a novel about slavery. (She advocated repatriating
the slaves -- well, to Liberia, anyway.)

And
Cookbooks! (and Household Hints) _Mrs Hale's Receipts for the Million_
(1857)
"Containing Four Thousand Five Hundred and Forty Five Receipts, Facts,
Directions, Etc. in the Useful, Ornamental and Domestic Arts..."

Exhausting.

The language link seems quite insignificant by comparison.

Now that’s an enduring contribution to the world.
