Synopsis

Excerpt from Scenes in My Native Land

Mr. Hawthorne's style is rich, refined, and graceful, and the pres ent volume is an ornament to the literature of our country. Bos ton Atlas.

This modest volume, which comes before us without preface, or any sort of an appeal to the public regard, is well calculated to stand on its own merits, and to acquire enduring popularity. The author possesses the power of winning immediate attention, and of sustain ing it, by a certain ingenuous sincerity, and by the force of a style at once simple and graceful. In all his descriptions, whether of scenes or emotions, nature is his only guide. In short, in quiet hu mor. In genuine pathos, and deep feeling, and in a style equally un studied and pure, the author of Twice Told Tales' has few equals, and with perhaps one or two eminent exceptions, no superior in our country. We confidently and cordially, therefore, commend the beautiful volume to the attention of our readers. - Knickerbocker.
