| Abstract | Perhaps the most famous contribution of this kind is the title The Father of His Country, which was bestowed upon George Washington by Francis Baily. On the cover of his Nord-Amerikanischer Kalender for the year 1779 (published in Lancaster, PA), there was a flying Fame with a medallion of Washington. Sounding from her trumpet were the words 'Des Landes Vater.' Sections include: Religious Terminology, Food Terminology, Miscellaneous Borrowings. |
