Southland Writers: Biographical and Critical Sketches of the Living Female Writers of the South (Classic Reprint)

In the preparation of this volume I have given prominence to those writers who were coutribntors to Confederate journals, and have omitted mention of well-known authors, whom we gladly claim as of our Southland, but of whom the world knoweth as much as we conld tell: Miss Maria I. Mcintosh, Mi-s. Anna Cora Ritchie, Marian Harland, are of this number, I believe there is much brilliant ii Uelleot in our land, which kind encouragement fi-om our people ivill develop nobly, and judicious criticism will mould into fairest proportions. The day is not far distant when the literature of the South will be a poweiacknowledged in the thought of the world when the once fallow field of Southern anthorship shall bloom, like our physical soil, with fragrantest laurel and brightest roses. Deprived of the aid of many co-laborers, it would have been almost impossible for me to have created this volume. Often, when weary, and nearly despairing in my complex task, kindly words and sweet encouragement have nerved me to my work. Ida Eayjiokd. Ho.
