NOVELS, STORIES, SKETCHES, AND POEMS,
BY
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
——————
It is the great happiness of Mrs. Stowe not only to have written many delightful books, but to have written one book which will be always famous not only as the most vivid picture of an extinct evil system, but as one of the most powerful influences in overthrowing it. . . . No book was ever more a historical event than "Uncle Tom's Cabin." . . . If all whom she has charmed and quickened should unite to sing her praises, the birds of summer would be outdone.—George William Curtis.

With an Introduction of more than thirty pages by Mrs. Stowe, describing the circumstances under which the story was written, and a Bibliography of the various editions and languages in which the work has appeared, by George Bullen, of the British Museum.

The publication of this remarkable story was an event in American history as well as in American literature. It fixed the eyes of the nation and of the civilized world on the evils of slavery, presenting these so vividly and powerfully that the heart and conscience of mankind were thenceforth enlisted against them. But, aside from its graphic portrayal of slavery, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a story of thrilling power, and abounds in humorous delineations of negro and Yankee character. Its extraordinary annual sale of thousands of copies, and its translation into numerous foreign languages, attest its universal and permanent interest.
DRED (NINA GORDON). A Story of Slavery. New Edition from new plates. 12mo, $1.50.
This volume was originally published under the title "Dred." It has a close connection with "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the object of both being to picture life at the South as it was under the régime of slavery.
"Uncle Tom" and "Dred" will assure Mrs. Stowe a place in that high rank of novelists who can give us a national life in all its phases, popular and aristocratic, humorous and tragic, political and religious.—Westminster Review (London).
