Have in Press, and are now issuing an entire new, complete, and uniform edition of all the celebrated Novels, (which have been out of print for years,) written by the late
MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTZ.
The whole of the novels and stories of Mrs.Caroline Lee Hentzwill be issued complete in twelve large duodecimo volumes. Two volumes will be issued each month, until the series is complete,one volume on the first, and another on the fifteenth of the month. They will be printed on the finest paper, and bound in the most beautiful style, in fine Morocco cloth, with a new full gilt back, and sold at the low price of $1.75 each, in Morocco cloth; or in paper cover, at $1.50 each.
The Novels of Mrs.Caroline Lee Hentzwill 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 andprofit, and that they will also be recommended to others by all that peruse them.
The first volume was issued on November 1st, 1869, and wasLINDA; OR, THE YOUNG PILOT OF THE BELLE CREOLE.
The first volume, "Linda," contains a full and complete Biography of the late Mrs.Caroline Lee Hentz, which has never before been published.
