This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.
1907. A collection of verse by Emily P. Bissell who wrote prose and
poetry under the name of Priscilla Leonard. She is best known as
the person who introduced the Christmas Seal to America. In 1907,
her cousin, Dr. Joseph Wales, needed money to operate his
tuberculosis hospital for the poor. Emily Bissell decided to sell
Christmas Seals, adopting a successful Danish practice. She wanted
to raise $300 with her first Christmas Seals; she ended up raising
$3,000. The Christmas Seals that are still used every year are the
descendants of Emily Bissell's efforts nearly ninety years ago.
