The Novels of Mrs. CAROLINE LEE HENTZ will be found, on perusal by all,
to be the most exciting and popular works that have ever emanated from
the American press. They are written in a charming style, and will
elicit through all a thrill of deep and exquisite pleasure. They are
works which the oldest and the youngest may alike read with pleasure and
profit. They abound with the most beautiful scenic descriptions, and
display an intimate acquaintance with all phases of human character--all
the characters being exceedingly well drawn. They are delightful books,
full of incident, oftentimes bold and startling, and they describe the
warm feelings of the Southerner in glowing colors. Indeed, all of 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. They will be found, in plot,
incident, and management, to be superior to any other novels ever
issued. In the whole range of elegant moral fiction, there cannot be
found anything of more inestimable value, or superior to the charming
works of Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, and they are all gems that will well
repay a careful perusal. The Publishers feel assured that this series of
Novels, by Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, will give entire satisfaction to the
whole reading community; that they will encourage good taste and good
morals, and while away many leisure hours with great pleasure and
profit, and that they will also be recommended to others by all that
peruse them.
