Headley, Joel Tyler
United States -- History -- War of 1812
We counsel especially the young women of our country to lay
aside their novels, at least until they shall have read "The
Women of the Revolution." Those of them who have souls will
find it replete with interest and instruction.--_N. Y.
Tribune._
The narratives are brief, spirited, and profoundly
interesting; especially as showing how the toils, the
privations and dangers of the war, made themselves felt,
perhaps even more keenly, in the homes than on the
battle-fields of the Revolutionary champions.--_N. Y.
Commercial._
The authoress has succeeded in collecting a large amount of
new and important facts, illustrative of the heroism evinced
in action and suffering, by the women who bore their part in
the Revolution, which have no place in the political
histories of the time, and have been derived almost entirely
from private sources.--_N. Y. Journal of Commerce._
The rich store of information contained in these volumes,
has been procured at the cost of much and laborious
research, from the surviving relatives of the heroines,
scattered through various parts of the Union. Personal
recollections have been recorded, family papers and letters
examined, and the work thus made a faithful and vivid
exhibition of the _domestic scenes_ of the war.--_Charleston
Inquirer._
The conception of the book is at once beautiful and
patriotic, and its execution is worthy of its subject, and
worthy of the reputation of its gifted authoress--_Albany
Atlas._
These sketches are of thrilling interest, as we gather from
a hasty glance at their pages. The narrative is clear,
concise, and very agreeably written.--_N. B. Mercury._
BRACE'S HUNGARY IN 1851: With an Experience of the Austrian Police. By
CHARLES LORING BRACE. (Beautifully illustrated, with a map of
Hungary).
"Upon the particular field of Hungary, this is by far the
most complete and reliable work in the language; a work that
all should read who would understand the institutions, the
character, and the spirit of a people who just now have so
urgent a claim on our sympathy."--_N. Y. Independent._
"There is probably not a work within the reach of the
English scholar that can afford him such a satisfactory view
of Hungary as it now is, as this work of Mr.
Brace."--_Christian Intelligencer._
"It will not disappoint public expectation. It bears the
strongest evidence of being most reliable in its
descriptions and facts."--_Boston Journal._
"We have seldom taken in hand a book which bears the reader
along with an interest so intense and sustained."--_Watchman
and Reflector._
