- A play satirizing prominent Bostonians. Many copies are annotated with the identities of those satirized, including Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis and Fanny Kemble.
- "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 Señora 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.
