Maria J. McIntosh's Works. _PUBLISHED BY D. APPLETON & CO_
I. EVENINGS AT DONALDSON MANOR; OR, THE CHRISTMAS GUEST.
BY MARIA J. McINTOSH.
_Illustrated with Ten Steel Engravings, 8vo., cloth, gilt edges, $3;
morocco, $4._
"The whole sparkle with strokes of pleasantry and lively criticism,
and ever and anon reveal most delightful pictures of fireside
groups. A high-toned morality pervades the whole. We feel sure that
the book will be a general favorite."--_Commercial Advertiser._
"It is a book that parents may buy for their children, brothers for
their sisters, or husbands for their wives, with the assurance that
the book will not only give pleasure, but convey lessons of love
and charity that can hardly fail to leave durable impressions of
moral and social duty upon the mind and heart of the
reader."--_Evening Mirror._
II.
WOMAN IN AMERICA; HER WORK AND HER REWARD.
BY MARIA J. McINTOSH.
_One Volume, 12mo., paper covers, 50c.; cloth, 75c._
"We like this work exceedingly, and our fair countrywomen will
admire it still more than we do. It is written in the true spirit,
and evinces extensive observation of society, a clear insight into
the evils surrounding and pressing down her sex, and a glorious
determination to expose and remove them. Read her work. She will
win a willing way to the heart and home of woman, and her mission
will be found to be one of beneficence and love. Truly, woman has
her work and her reward."--_American Spectator._
"We thank Miss McIntosh for her 'Woman in America.' She has written
a clever book, containing much good 'word and truth,' many valuable
thoughts and reflections, which ought to be carefully considered by
every American lady."--_Protestant Churchman._
III.
CHARMS AND COUNTER-CHARMS.
BY MARIA J. McINTOSH.
_One Volume, 12mo., cloth, $1; or in Two Parts, paper, 75c._
"This is one of those healthful, _truthful_ works of fiction, which
improve the heart and enlighten the judgment, whilst they furnish
amusement to the passing hour. The style is clear, easy and simple,
and the construction of the story artistic in a high degree. We
commend most cordially the book."--_Tribune._
IV.
