Dedicated to Professor George Andrews on the Occasion of His Seventieth Birthday.

  Abstract:  We obtain a unification of two refinements of Euler's partition theorem respectively due to Bessenrodt and Glaisher. A specialization of Bessenrodt's insertion algorithm for a generalization of the Andrews-Olsson partition identity is used in our combinatorial construction.
