From the short lived firm of Frederick Leypoldt. Frederick Leypoldt (1835-1884) publisher and co-founder of the American Library Association began publishing in 1863 because of the dearth of imported books during the Civil War, his first work being a translation of 'The Ice Maiden' by Hans Christian Andersen. By 1866 he joined with Henry Holt to form Leypoldt and Holt in New York which he left shortly thereafter.
