Excerpt from Stories of Many Lands If in this volume I have chosen to tell you some stories about titled people of foreign lands, it is that you may not be so set up by your privi leges as little citizenesses of the great Republic, as not to feel kindly and humanly toward even little Lords and Ladies, who, being the slaves of pomp, etiquette, and fine clothes, know nothing about freedom and equality, and good, jolly times; who have no star-spangled Banner, and no Fourth of July, and who have scarcely ever heard of George Washington and General Grant.

In an instant there is a stir and a gush of light laughter in the drawing-room, and presently, with a movement a little more majestic and elder-sisterly, Annie and Sophie float noiselessly through the hall and up the soft-car peted ascent, as though borne on their respective clouds of blue and white drapery, and take their way to the nursery, where a novel entertainment awaits them.

Not illustrated. 1856 Excerpt: ...the little window till the last glimpse of his tall, slender form had disappeared down the winding forest path; then, summoning Ahwao, she hastily disrobed herself of her strange, grand habiliments, and resuming her picturesque, half-savage costume, declared, with a childlike laugh and skip, that she felt natural and breathed easily, for the first time that day. De Vaudreuil walked slowly and thoughtfully homeward, not alone reflecting, lover-like, upon the singular beauty and wild graces of the mistress of his heart, nor conning over her pretty, suggestive sayings, but speculating upon the still existent difficulties of his position, and studying more earnestly than ever to lay out some plan for providing for his wife a more safe and permanent asylum. He could not count upon being permitted to linger much longer at his present post; he felt that he could not with honour remain in safety and inactivity away from the army which he had joined scarcely a year before in all the fiery ardour of a young soldier of liberty, smiling at hardships, difficulties, and dangers, hungering and thirsting after a noble renown. In the deepening abstraction and perplexity of his thought, his step grew slower and slower, till he paused altogether, and stood quite still for several moments--an almost unprecedented length of time for him to give to profound reflection. "When he walked on, it was with a quick, firm stride. He had formed an important, though by no means a new resolution; he had determined to lose no time in confiding his secret to the marquis, and acquainting him with all the painful awkwardness of his position. But soon he paused again, in redoubled doubt and perplexity. Would not his aristocratic superior be shocked inexpressibly H by such an unheard-of mes...

Sara Jane Lippincott was the youngest daughter and one of eleven children of Dr. Thaddeus and Deborah Clarke. She was born on September 23, 1823 in Pompey, Onondaga County, New York. Dr. Clarke, a physician of some prominence, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, of Puritan ancestry. His wife, of Huguenot descent, came from Brooklyn, Connecticut. Sara Jane's childhood was passed in Pompey, in the neighboring town of Fabius, and chiefly in Rochester, New York.
She was educated in public and private schools.
In 1842 the family removed to New Brighton, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Here, in 1844, Sara began her prose writing under the pseudonym "Grace Greenwood" in some articles contributed to the New Mirror. She had in her girlhood published some verse under her own name. Several volumes of prose and verse appeared during her years at New Brighton: Greenwood Leaves; a Collection of Sketches and Letters (1850); History of My Pets (1850); Poems (1851); Greenwood Leaves: Second Series (1852); and Recollections of My Childhood, and Other Stories (1852).
After spending fifteen months in Europe, 1852-1853, she published Haps and Mishaps of a Tour in Europe (1854), which was unfavorably reviewed in the London Athenæum, November 18, 1854. Later she undertook the editorship of the Little Pilgrim, a juvenile monthly. From this time her writing was continuous and included contributions to Hearth and Home, the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's New Monthly Magazine, the New York Independent, the New York Times, the New York Tribune, and the English magazines Household Words and All the Year Round.
Her place of residence was sometimes Philadelphia, sometimes Washington, sometimes New York City. During this period her writings included Merrie England: Travels, Descriptions, Tales, and Historical Sketches (1855); A Forest Tragedy and Other Tales (1856); Bonnie Scotland: Tales of Her History, Heroes, and Poets (1861); Stories and Sights of France and Italy (1867); New Life in New Lands: Notes of Travel (1873); Heads and Tails: Studies and Stories of Pets (1875); and Queen Victoria: Her Girlhood and Womanhood (1883), published also in London.
During the Civil War Mrs. Lippincott visited many camps and hospitals, talking and reading to the soldiers. President Lincoln spoke of her as "Grace Greenwood the patriot. " A contemporary critic, John S. Hart, said of Mrs. Lippincott that her life was so full of pleasant social relations, variety, and excitement that she was never able to concentrate on any important work but contented herself with "light critiques, and lighter letters. " It is probable, however, that her popularity was greater because of the lightness of her work, and her style does not indicate capacity for more serious productions. Mrs. Lippincotts spent the last four years of her life in New Rochelle, New York.
Sara Jane was one of the earliest women in the United States to become a regular newspaper correspondent and her letters from Washington and Europe, which she often visited, to leading New York, Chicago, and California papers were very popular. Her most representative and bestliked volumes were Greenwood Leaves and Haps and Mishaps of a Tour in Europe. Her best poems were probably "Ariadne, " a stiff classical imitation, and "Darkened Hours, " a conventional lament over unattained ambition.

She was actively interested, though not a vigorous propagandist, in all movements for the advancement of women.
Sara Jane Clarke was married to Leander K. Lippincott of Philadelphia. They had one daughter.
