‎Mother Goose for Grown Folks A Christmas Reading‎

‎New York: Carleton Publisher. Very Good-. 1867. Early printing. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good- condition and was likely issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean bright condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and edge wear. There is some beginning fraying to the spine ends as well. The text pages are generally clean and bright but there are spots of foxing throughout. "Adeline Dutton Train Whitney September 15 1824 – March 20 1906 was an American poet and prolific writer who published more than 20 books for girls. Her books expressed a traditional view of women's roles and were popular throughout her life. Adeline Whitney started writing seriously in her thirties after her children started school. She first published poems and stories in local journals. In 1859 she published her first book Mother Goose for Grown Folks. She wrote mainly for young girls and supported conservative values. She promoted the message of the era that a woman's happiest place is in the home the source of all goodness. As this was popular among parents her books sold extremely well throughout her life." .

Fair condition only. ¶ ["Rosenberg var en dansk historisk og politisk forfatter.... Naar undtages et Par Flyveskrifter imod Ministeriet Ørsted 1853—54, havde han indtil 1864 fortrinsvis syslet med litterære Studier; han skrev talrige Boganmeldelser i »Dansk Maanedsskrift« (1858—65), en »Illustreret Verdenshistorie« (1860) med særlig Vægt paa de kulturhistoriske Forhold og en Afh. om »Rolands-Kvadet« (1861), hvorved han vandt Doktorgraden. Men stærkt grebet af Fædrelandets Ulykke 1864 kastede han sig ivrig ind i Drø ftelsen af de politiske Forhold, bl.a. i »Fædrelandet«, og udfoldede stor Iver for at udbrede den nordiske Enhedstanke og bane Vej for dens Virkeliggørelse, da han heri saa Nordens eneste Frelse. Han affattede 1864 et Udkast til en nordisk Union, der blev Grundlag for de Forhandlinger, som Carl XV s. A. førte med den danske Regering, og han udviklede denne Tanke nærmere i en omfattende Fremstilling af »Den politiske Skandinavisme«, var Medstifter af »Nordisk Samfund« 1865 og forfattede paa dets Vegne en Række »Blade til Menigmand fra danske Skandinaver«, som siden gik over til at blive »Ugeblade til Menigmand« (1867—69). Ligeledes var han Medredaktør og flittig Medarbejder af G. Hamilton’s »Nordisk Tidsskrift« (1866—70), hvilket nærmest forvoldte hans Afskedigelse. Endnu i nogle Aar fortsatte han denne politiske Virksomhed (var 1873—74 Redaktør af »Dansk Ugeblad«), men trak sig derefter tilbage i Mismod og Bitterhed imod Venstre — som han ellers i fl. Maader stod nær — fordi det ikke vilde gøre Forsvarssagen, som han selv omfattede med sværmerisk Begejstring, til sin Hovedopgave...‎
