"'Lyrics from Cotton Land' will remain a priceless legacy to the children of the South. It is a voice that had become almost a memory. It is a key to the treasure-house of a period fast receding. It glorifies with simple and soulful melody 'the tender grace of a day that is dead.' 'Uncle Remus,' up to the advent of the brilliant young Scotchman, was the most faithful and accurate exponent of 'Mr. Nigger' in the realm of letters; but Joel Chandler Harris is not a whit more lifelike in his portrayal of the language as well as of the spirit of the old time darkey than John Charles McNeill."--_Charity & Children._ STONE & BARRINGER CO.
