Excerpt from Mimic World and Public Exhibitions: Their History, Their Morals, and Effects There is little need of a preface to such a book as this. It is such a big book - it holds so much - that I have been able to express myself pretty fully, and I do not find, in giving a last look at the pages as they lie before me, that I have forgotten to say anything I wanted to say.

Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

journalist lecturer author actress
Olive Logan was the daughter of Cornelius Ambrosius and Eliza (Akeley) Logan. Cornelius Ambrose Logan was her brother. She was born on April 22, 1839 in Elmira, New York, United States and when a little child was taken by her parents to Cincinnati.
She attended school in Cincinnati. Later she studied at Wesleyan Female College (1850-1851) and the Catholic Academy of the Sacred Heart in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Olive became interested in the stage at an early age, making her début in Philadelphia at the Arch Street Theatre, August 19, 1854, under the management of John Drew and William Wheatley, as Mrs. Bobtail in Bobtail and Wagtail. Her stage appearances, however, were confined wholly to her younger years; the greater part of her professional life was actively spent in the writing of plays, books, newspaper articles, and in lecturing on woman's rights and other social and political subjects.
She appears to have attempted the acting of a male character when she was less than eighteen years of age, for Joseph Norton Ireland notes that she appeared at the Broadway Theatre, February 21, 1857, as one of the two Antipholi in A Comedy of Errors, with the brothers Placide as the two Dromios. She was also, according to the same authority, at the new Broadway Theatre in 1865, being described as a "valuable coadjutress" of Mr. Chanfrau in Sam. T. Allston Brown says that after having spent several years in France and England, she reappeared at Wallack's Theatre, New York, in 1864 in a play of her own composition called Eveleen, and that then, after a starring tour in the West and South she "reappeared in the New York boards at the Broadway Theatre under the management of her brother in law, George Wood, in November, 1865, in the play called 'Sam, ' and for nearly one hundred consecutive nights played the same role to large and admiring audiences".
By 1868 she had retired as an actress. Her record as a writer of plays comprises also Surf, or Summer Scenes at Long Branch, a comedy in five acts travestying fashionable life at a seaside resort, produced by Augustin Daly at his Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, January 12, 1870; Newport, produced at Daly's Theatre, New York, September 17, 1879; and a dramatization of Wilkie Collins' novel, Armadale.
Among her books are Photographs of Paris Life (1862), written under the pen name of "Chroniqueuse"; Apropos of Women and Theatres (1869); Before the Footlights and Behind the Scenes (1870); The Mimic World (1871); and They Met by Chance (1873), a society novel. None of them is of more than temporary interest. Her last years were spent in poverty and were clouded by insanity, and she died in Banstead, England, while an inmate of an asylum.

She was a woman of alert mind, a forceful personality, but she was erratic and had little ability to turn her talents in the direction of permanent success in the theatre, in literature, or in any profession.
Olive was married three times: in 1857 to Henry A. De Lille (or Delille), from whom she was divorced in 1865; about 1872 to William Wirt Sikes, a member of the American consular service at Cardiff, Wales, who died in 1883; and third to James O'Neill (not the famous actor of that name), who was some twenty years her junior. She and her last husband were known as Mr. and Mrs. James O'Neill Logan.
