Francesca Anna Canfield (née, Pascalis; pen name, Salonina; August 1803 – May 23, 1833) was a 19th-century American linguist, poet,[1] and translator. In writing, she seemed to have been constantly under the influence of the advice thus given to Pindar: "Moderate your fire; the axle of your chariot-wheels burns too soon."[2] Canfield died in 1833.
