READ WHAT SOME OF THE LEADING EDITORS SAY OF IT:
"This book, by one of the most popular authors in the country, has been
issued in the publisher's very best style. There are but few readers of
the current literature of the day, who are not acquainted with the name,
and the stories of this authoress. Her style is a pleasing one, and her
stories usually strongly marked in incident. The volume now published
abounds with the most beautiful scenic descriptions, and displays an
intimate acquaintance with all phases of human character; all the
characters being exceedingly well drawn. The moral is of a most
wholesome character, and the plot, incidents, and management, give
evidence of great tact, skill and judgment, on the part of the writer. It is
a work which the oldest and the youngest may alike read with
profit."--Dollar Newspaper.

"It is a tale of Southern life, where Mrs. Hentz is peculiarly at home,
and so far as we have had time to examine it, it gives proofs of
possessing all the excellencies that have already made her writings so
popular throughout the country. The sound, healthy tone of all Mrs.
Hentz's tales makes them safe as well as delightful reading, and we can
safely and warmly recommend it to all who delight in agreeable
fictions. Mr. Peterson has published it in a beautifully printed
volume."--Evening Bulletin.
"A story of domestic life, written in Mrs. Hentz's best vein. The details
of the plot are skilfully elaborated, and many passages are deeply
pathetic."--Commercial Advertiser.
MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTZ'S OTHER WORKS.
T. B. Peterson having purchased the stereotype plates of all the writings
of Mrs. Hentz, he has just published a new, uniform and beautiful
edition of all her works, printed on a much finer and better paper, and
in far superior and better style to what they have ever before been
issued in, (all in uniform style with Helen and Arthur,) copies of any
one or all of which will be sent to any place in the United States, free of
postage, on receipt of remittances. Each book contains a beautiful
illustration of one of the best scenes. The following are the names of
these celebrated works:
LINDA. THE YOUNG PILOT OF THE BELLE CREOLE. Complete
in two volumes, paper cover, price One Dol., or bound in one volume,
cloth gilt, $1.25.
"We hail with pleasure this contribution to the literature of the South.
Works containing faithful delineations of Southern life, society, and
scenery, whether in the garb of romance or in the soberer attire of
simple narrative, cannot fail to have a salutary influence in correcting
the false impressions which prevail in regard to our people and
institutions; and our thanks are due to Mrs. Hentz for the addition she
has made to this department of our native literature. We cannot close
without expressing a hope that 'Linda' may be followed by many other
works of the same class from the pen of its gifted author."--Southern

Literary Gazette.
"Mrs. Hentz has given us here a very delightful romance, illustrative of
life in the South-west, on a Mississippi plantation. There is a
well-wrought love-plot; the characters are well drawn; the incidents are
striking and novel; the dénouement happy, and moral excellent. Mrs.
Hentz may twine new laurels above her 'Mob Cap.'"--Evening Bulletin.
ROBERT GRAHAM. The Sequel to, and continuation of Linda.
Complete in two large volumes, paper cover, price One Dol., or bound
