		Mary Russell Mitford (December 16, 1787 - January 10, 1855), was an English novelist and dramatist.
		Her father spent his wife's fortune in a few years; then he spent the greater part of £20,000, which in 1797 his daughter, then aged ten, drew as a prize in a lottery; from then on he lived on a small remnant of his fortune and the proceeds of his daughter's literary career.
		He is thought to have inspired Mary with the keen delight in incongruities, the lively sympathy, self-willed vigorous individuality, and the womanly tolerance which inspire so many of her sketches of character.
