Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by 19th-century writer and poet, Alaia Osgood, is an elegiac volume of poetry focused on Ulysses S. Grant, hero of the American Civil War and the 18th President of the United States. The author's intention was to commemorate and celebrate Grant's life and legacy, and she does so through a collection of narrative poems and lyrics, dirges and hymns that explore the many facets of Grant's character and his significance as a historical figure, as well as the personal and national grief that followed his death. Osgood's writing is characterized by its deeply felt emotion and eloquent advocacy, acknowledging Grant's flaws while honoring his courage and profound patriotism. Her approach to the verse form allows her to capture the complexity of her subject, and the nuance of the nation's response to him, in a moving and insightful way, that illuminates Grant's life as both a public and private figure, and offers a unique perspective on his place in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of sexual order as a universal law underpinning life, motion, and the organization of the cosmos. The author argues that understanding the laws of sex is crucial for comprehending the workings of both the solar system and human society. Published in 1867, this work emerges from a historical context where discussions about women's rights and societal reform were gaining momentum. The author challenges prevailing assumptions about male superiority and advocates for women's rightful place in social and governmental structures. The book explores the fundamental principles of sex, generation, and organization, drawing parallels between the solar system, human physiology, and the structure of society. It delves into the origins of language, the nature of the soul and matter, and the laws governing human development and social interaction. By illuminating the intricate connections between natural laws and human society, this book offers a thought-provoking perspective on achieving harmony and equality, ultimately suggesting that understanding sexual order is key to unlocking a future of balance, justice, and progress.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Green publisher's binding decorated in gilt, bright, clean, 6 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches, tight. Small name stamp with date 1887 on the ffep. Frontispiece by John Andrew-Son, extra engraved series title page, 195 clean pp., 2 additional plates. John Andrew & Son was an engraving firm in Boston that produced book illustrations for Lee & Shepard and Edward S. Curtis. It was established by John Andrew and his son George in 1869.Mary Ann Gunnison Osgood (1826-1902), a New England native. She evidently took up writing to help support her young family; her husband was a struggling music teacher. She began contributing essays, poems, and short stories to religious periodicals in 1854, and Lee & Shepard published her four-volume Little Canary series in 1872."The series relates the domestic doings of the Carrol children and their families. Music, important to the Osgoods, figures in most of the books. The families bear the musical surname Carrol and periodically give evidence of their tuneful tendencies. Canary's mother and aunt play the piano; her father, the flute, and her grandfather, the bass-viol. All three girls take lessons, and mention of family members singing occurs throughout the series, with Little Canary - nicknamed Bird - as the star performer, displaying unusual talent from infancy." - Deidre Johnson, at readseriesdotcom.

Another Poe acquaintance was the Author Miss CATHERINE M. SEDGWICK, who was brought up in western Massachusetts in a family of lawyers and judges (her father became Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.) She was a successful novelist in her own right, publishing 1824's "A New England Tale. Redwood, " a best seller. Her work was favorably compared to that of her contemporary James Fenimore Cooper. Poe described her appearance in detail in a column in Godey's Lady's Book of 1846 (Vol. 33, pp. 131-132) in a column titled "The Literati of New York City"."Her forehead is an unusually fine one, [the] nose of a slightly Roman curve; eyes dark and piercing; mouth well-formed and remarkably pleasant in its expression. The portrait in Graham's Magazine is by no means a likeness." Ms. Osgood was, then, being extensively written about in the main literary outlets of the day. She provides six selections here.**LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802-1880), another influential Massachusetts author and editor, was also a first wave feminist known for her promotion of many causes considered "radical" in her day. Abolitionism, the rights of indigenous people, and women's suffrage were among her causes, and she also wrote a novel about interracial marriage in 1824. She and her husband also worked with Newburyport-born abolitionist William Lloyd Garrrison's anti-slavery movement in Boston. [ See our related listing for "The History of the Condition of Women, in Various Ages and Nations," our no. 9258.] In this volume, LMC offers four selections: "Recollections of Ole Bull," "She Waits in the Spirit Land," "The Self-Conscious, and the Unconscious," and "The Neighbor-in-Law." **Newburyport's HANNAH FLAGG GOULD (1789-1865) is also represented in these pages with her poem, "The Empty Cradle." Gould was also a contemporary of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, writing for his anti-slavery newspaper, "The Liberator." [See our related listing 7250.] **ANNA BLACKWELL (1816-1900) Bristol, England-born, Author and Poet later associated with the Transcendentalists at Boston's Brook Farm, also provides a number of poems in this collection. Like Child, she is considered a first wave feminist and radical thinker in the areas of woman's rights and abolitionism. She was also a correspondent of some intimate variety with E.A. Poe. **Her sister, Miss ELIZABETH BLACKWELL, (1821-1910) provides a short story, "Lyndhurst" to this issue. She would famously go on to become the first trained woman medical doctor in the United States, beginning her medical studies the following year,1847, at Geneva Medical College in New York. Prior to that, however, she and her five sisters made ends meet after the death of their father instructing at a private school run with their mother in Cincinnati. A male contributor, James Kirk Paulding, forgoing credit with the byline,"By an Amateur," adds a spirited critique of midcentury spiritualism in "Panegyric on Witchcraft, Mesmerism and Cheap Literature." On LMC's "The Children of Mount Ida," see BAL 3155.
