one volume, cloth gilt, $1.25.
"We cannot admire too much, nor thank Mrs. Hentz too sincerely for
the high and ennobling morality and Christian grace, which not only
pervade her entire writings, but which shine forth with undimmed
beauty in the new novel, Robert Graham. It sustains the character
which is very difficult to well delineate in a work of fiction--a religious
missionary. All who read the work will bear testimony to the entire
success of Mrs. Hentz."--Boston Transcript.
"The thousands who read 'Linda, or, the Young Pilot of the Belle
Creole,' will make haste to procure a copy of this book, which is a
sequel to that history. Like all of this writer's works, it is natural and
graphic, and very entertaining."--City Item.
"A charming novel; and in point of plot, style, and all the other
characteristics of a readable romance, it will compare favorably with
almost any of the many publications of the season."--Literary Gazette.
RENA; or, THE SNOW BIRD. A Tale of Real Life. Complete in two
volumes, paper cover, price One Dol., or bound in one volume, cloth
gilt, $1.25.
"'Rena; or, the Snow Bird' elicits a thrill of deep and exquisite pleasure,
even exceeding that which accompanied 'Linda,' which was generally
admitted to be the best story ever written for a newspaper. That was
certainly high praise, but 'Rena' takes precedence even of its
predecessor, and, in both, Mrs. Lee Hentz has achieved a triumph of no

ordinary kind. It is not that old associations bias our judgment, for
though from the appearance, years since, of the famous 'Mob Cap' in
this paper, we formed an exalted opinion of the womanly and literary
excellence of the writer, our feelings have, in the interim, had quite
sufficient leisure to cool; yet, after the lapse of years, we have
continued to maintain the same literary devotion to this best of our
female writers. The two last productions of Mrs. Lee Hentz now fully
confirm our previously formed opinion, and we unhesitatingly
commend 'Rena,' now published in book form, in beautiful style, by T.
B. Peterson, as a story which, in its varied, deep, and thrilling interest,
has no superior."--American Courier.
THE PLANTER'S NORTHERN BRIDE. With illustrations. Complete
in two large volumes, paper cover, 600 pages, price One Dollar, or
bound in one volume, cloth gilt, $1.25.
"We have seldom been more charmed by the perusal of a novel; and we
desire to commend it to our readers in the strongest words of praise that
our vocabulary affords. The incidents are well varied; the scenes
beautifully described; and the interest admirably kept up. But the moral
of the book is its highest merit. The 'Planter's Northern Bride' should be
as welcome as the dove of peace to every fireside in the Union. It
cannot be read without a moistening of the eyes, a softening of the
heart, and a mitigation of sectional and most unchristian
prejudices."--N. Y. Mirror.
"It is unquestionably the most powerful and important, if not the most
charming work that has yet flowed from her elegant pen; and though
evidently founded upon the all-absorbing subjects of slavery and
abolitionism, the genius and skill of the fair author have developed new
views of golden argument, and flung around the whole such a halo of
pathos, interest, and beauty, as to render it every way worthy the author
of 'Linda,' 'Marcus Warland,' 'Rena,' and the numerous other literary
gems from the same author."--American Courier.
COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE; or, THE JOYS AND SORROWS
OF AMERICAN LIFE. With a Portrait of the Author. Complete in two
large volumes, paper cover, price One Dollar, or bound in one volume,

cloth gilt, $1.25.
"This work will be found, on perusal by all, to be one of the most
exciting, interesting, and popular works that has ever emanated from
the American Press. It is written in a charming style, and will elicit
through all a thrill of deep and exquisite pleasure. It is a work which
the oldest and the youngest may alike read with profit. It abounds with
the most beautiful scenic descriptions; and displays an intimate
acquaintance with all phases of human character; all the characters
being exceedingly well drawn. It is a delightful book, full of incidents,
oftentimes bold and startling, and describes the warm feelings of the
Southerner in glowing colors. Indeed, all Mrs. Hentz's stories aptly
describe Southern life, and are highly moral in their application. In this
field Mrs. Hentz wields a keen sickle, and harvests a rich and abundant
crop. It will be found in plot, incident, and management, to be a
superior work. In the whole range of elegant moral fiction, there cannot
be found any thing of more inestimable value, or superior to this work,
and it is a gem that will well repay a
