Essays; Literature -- History and criticism; Poetry
The Story of this rich, sad, striving, unsatisfied life, with its depths
of emotion and its surface sparkling and glowing, is told tenderly and
reverently by her biographers. Their praise is eulogy, and their words
often seem extravagant, but they knew her well, they spoke as they felt.
The character that could awaken such interest and love surely is a rare
one.

MARGARET FULLER.
BY JULIA WARD HOWE.
One volume. 16mo. Cloth. Price $1.00.
"A memoir of the woman who first in New England took a position of moral
and intellectual leadership, by the woman who wrote the Battle Hymn of
the Republic, is a literary event of no common or transient interest.
The Famous Women Series will have no worthier subject and no more
illustrious biographer. Nor will the reader be disappointed,--for the
narrative is deeply interesting and full of inspiration."--_Woman's
Journal._
"Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's biography of _Margaret Fuller_, in the Famous
Women Series of Messrs. Roberts Brothers, is a work which has been
looked for with curiosity. It will not disappoint expectation. She has
made a brilliant and an interesting book. Her study of Margaret Fuller's
character is thoroughly sympathetic; her relation of her life is done in
a graphic and at times a fascinating manner. It is the case of one woman
of strong individuality depicting the points which made another one of
the most marked characters of her day. It is always agreeable to follow
Mrs. Howe in this; for while we see marks of her own mind constantly,
there is no inartistic protrusion of her personality. The book is always
readable, and the relation of the death-scene is thrillingly
impressive."--_Saturday Gazette._
"Mrs. Julia Ward Howe has retold the story of Margaret Fuller's life and
career in a very interesting manner. This remarkable woman was happy in
having James Freeman Clarke, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and William Henry
Channing, all of whom had been intimate with her and had felt the spell
of her extraordinary personal influence, for her biographers. It is
needless to say, of course, that nothing could be better than these
reminiscences in their way."--_New York World._
"The selection of Mrs. Howe as the writer of this biography was a happy
thought on the part of the editor of the series; for, aside from the
natural appreciation she would have for Margaret Fuller, comes her
knowledge of all the influences that had their effect on Margaret
Fuller's life. She tells the story of Margaret Fuller's interesting life
from all sources and from her own knowledge, not hesitating to use
plenty of quotations when she felt that others, or even Margaret Fuller
herself, had done the work better."--_Miss Gilder, in Philadelphia
Press._
