[edit] Family
Elizabeth Bath (née Paddy) was born on February 17, 1776. She was the daughter of Edward Paddy and Mary (Rowling) of Falmouth, Cornwall.
On November 7, 1796, she married Henry Bath (Jan. 24, 1776 - May 29, 1844) a Quaker and metals merchant of Swansea, South Wales; also founder of Henry Bath & Son Ltd., an enterprise still in existence today. They lived at Rosehill House, in Mumbles, Swansea, which has been incorporated into the St. Anne Hotel of today. Elizabeth's sister, Mary, became the wife of Edward Osler and thereby the grandmother of Sir William Osler, the world-renowned physician.[3]
She died October 3, 1844.
[edit] Work
Elizabeth Bath's book is dedicated to a friend "whose sincerity is equalled only by the stability which has ever marked her character." The poems take a variety of forms — some are sonnets; some are longer poems — and they address religion, loss, friendship, sensibility, and other likely topics. The list of subscribers is substantial.
