Augustin Daly

"This comprehensive book provides a balanced overview of the current research on divorce. The authors examine the scientific evidence to uncover what can be said with certainty about divorce and what remains to be learned about this socially and politically charged issue. Accessible to parents and teachers as well as clinicians and researchers, the volume examines the impact of marital breakup on children, adults, and society." "Alison Clarke-Stewart and Cornelia Brentano synthesize the most up-to-date information on divorce from a variety of disciplinary perspectives with thoughtful analysis of psychological issues. They convey the real-life consequences of divorce with excerpts from autobiographies by young people, and they also include guidelines for social policies that would help to diminish the detrimental effects of divorce."--Jacket.

"Sarony was the photographer, nine are credited to him, but many may not be by him. The photogravures are by the Photogravure Co., New York. This elaborate souvenir book is in a decorative cloth binding that has slits to allow a ribbon through printed in gold with the title 'A Daughter of Comedy.' It can betied in a bow. It is important to note that Ms. Rehan was an actress of enormous fame from 1870 through to 1900. Augustin Daly was the impresario, writer and director that ran the most important theater in New York City at this time. It would be interesting to know how this book was marketed. The 1898 edition is in halftone."--David Hanson documentation.
