"Mrs. Stowe is a daughter of Beecher the minister. Born in Connecticut on June 15, 1812. When fifteen, she became, at the request of her sister and her neighbors, a teacher at a girls' school in Hartford. After she [Harriet Beecher Stowe] married Pastor Stowe in 1836, her literary talent bloomed under his tutorship. She published a volume of stories called The mayflower, which was deemed a suitable school text for young persons, as a result of which Stowe became well known all over New England. In 1851 she wrote an other book called Uncle Tom's cabin, which was published in Boston in 1852. This was received very enthusiastically, going into four reprints and selling 400'000 copies. It also sold 500'000 copies in Britain, and was translated into the main European languages, besides being adapted for the stage. It was supplemented in 1853 by the author's The key to Uncle Tom's cabin, which enhanced its standing."
