BY MRS. MARY J. HOLMES.
One Volume, 12mo. Paper covers, 75 cents; cloth, .
These are the most striking and original sketches of American character in the South-western States which have ever been published. The character of Tempest is drawn with all that spirit and energy which characterize the high toned female spirit of the South, while Sunshine possesses the loveliness and gentleness of the sweetest of her sex. The Planter is sketched to the life, and in his strongly marked, passionate, and generous nature, the reader will recognize one of the truest sons of the south-west.

MARIA J. McINTOSH'S WORKS.
OR, GOOD IN ALL AND NONE ALL GOOD.
"Life, in its varied relations at the North and the South, is the theme of this work. In its graphic delineations of character, truthfulness of representation, and stirring realities of life, it will hardly give place to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' The authoress is well-known to the public by her many charming works of fiction, and her life has been passed at the North of South. The nobleness of her sentiments, her elevated and candid views, her genuine feelings of humanity, and the elegance and eloquence of her pen, are brought out in these pages with their full brilliancy and effect."
OR, THE CHRISTMAS GUEST.
HER WORK AND HER REWARD.
"This volume contains the following delightfully interesting stories: 'Blind Alice,' 'Jessie Graham,' 'Florence Arnott,' 'Grace and Clara,' 'Ellen Leslie: or the Reward of Self-Control.'"
Transcriber's Note:
Minor typographic errors have been corrected without note. Hyphenation, capitalisation and spelling of proper names, and use of accents has been made consistent without note. One exception is Canot's forename, which appears as T?odor, T?odore and Theodore throughout the text. This has been left as printed, as has the author's use of some archaic and variable spellings.
Incorrect page number references in the table of contents were amended as follows: 119 to 118; 127 to 126; 215 to 214; 394 to 349.
The footnotes in the original book are sometimes numbered, sometimes lettered. This convention has been retained in this version.
The frontispiece illustration has been moved to follow the title page.
The use of oe ligatures has not been retained in this version.
