Josephine Pollard

Josephine Pollard (J. P. Pollard) (17 October 1834 – 15 August 1892) was an American hymn writer, author and poet.
Pollard published over a hundred hymns, and wrote numerous popular children's books mostly on religious and historical topics. She worked as an editor for the ''Sunday School Times'' and worked for the Methodist Book Concern, where she edited a magazine intended for African Americans. Pollard also wrote for other children's magazines such as ''The Little Corporal''.〔, reprinted in 1970, ISBN 978-0-674-39552-7〕 Her poetry was published in a number of magazines including ''Harper's Magazine'' and ''Scribner's Magazine'',〔, reprinted from the 1885 edition 〕 as well as the ''New York Ledger''. Some of her children's poetry was collected in the book ''Elfin land'' published in 1882.
In her children's books she ''neither talked over the child's head nor down to it in tones of condescension.'' Her works have seen a recent resurgence as ''early readers'', spurred by the home-school movement.〔Pfitzer, Gregory M. "'History repeating itself': the republication phenomenon and Josephine Pollard's monosyllabic histories for children." 125th annual meeting of the American Historical Society (Boston, 6-9 Jan 2011). (Abstract )〕
Pollard was born in New York City one of seven children of architect Calvin Pollard and his wife Electra.〔1850 and 1860 United States Census for New York City; note that Electra L. Pollard's name is variously misspelled in the census data as "Elector" and "Electa".〕 She attended the Springler Institute, an exclusive girl's school.〔〔The Springler Institute was located off Union Square in New York City, run by Gorham Dummer Abbott, and was a continuation of the Abbott Institute formerly of East Houston Street, Greenwich Village.〕 Pollard was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church, and attended the North Presbyterian Church on Ninth Avenue.〔 She was a founding member of the professional women's club Sorosis. She never married. Josephine Pollard died in New York City after a long illness on 15 August 1892.〔
