Books with author Tracey Greenwood

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Sara Jane Lippincott (1823-1904) was an American author, better known by the pseudonym Grace Greenwood. She was born at Pompey, N. Y.. Her family moved to New Brighton, Pennsylvania, where her father was a physician, and she there attended the Greenwood Institute, a ladies' academy, from which she may have taken her pseudonym. In 1853, she married Leander K. Lippincott, but he left the country in 1876 after indictment for land fraud. Her earliest writing was poetry and children's stories, and with her husband she started the Little Pilgrim (1854), an American children's magazine. She was soon producing magazine articles and essays, and became one of the earliest regular female newspaper correspondents. In 1852 she went to Europe on assignment for the New York Times. She was an active supporter of women's rights and of the anti-slavery movement, and during the Civil War wrote articles from Washington DC in aid of the Northern cause. Her works include: Greenwood Leaves (1850), History of my Pets (1851), Merrie England (1855), Bonnie Scotland (1861), Stories of Many Lands (1867) and Queen Victoria: Her Girlhood and Womanhood (1883).

After all, I think I had more real delight in the noble public parks and gardens of London than in palaces and cathedrals They were all wonders and novelties to me—for, to our misfortune and discredit,—we have nothing of the kind in our country. To see the poor little public squares in our towns and cities, where a few stunted trees seem huddled together, as though scared by the great red-faced houses that crowd so close upon them, one would think that we were sadly stinted and straitened for land, instead of being loosely scattered over a vast continent, many times larger than all Great Britain.

Excerpt from Stories and Legends of Travel and History, for ChildrenThe English government, with all its faults, has always been wise and generous toward the people in regard to their out-door comfort and pleasure. It does not mean that they shall be stifled for want of air, or cramped for room to exercise in. Everywhere over the kingdom, the traveller sees shady parks, pleasant gardens, breezy downs, and wide heaths, Open to the public, and as much for the enjoyment of the poor as the rich.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
