1860182fdNew York: Negro Universities Press 1968. Reprint of the 1860 edition. Octavo brown cloth hardcover gilt letters 526 pp. Fine. From Preface: As most of the Letters embraced in this volume were written for the Editor of the late American Courier and appeared therein from time to time the writer therof has not seen fit to alter the local allusions the style of address in the Letters or the appellation of Needles by which they were originally designated. As these Letters were commenced and many of them published before Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom was written its pictures of South-western life have no reference to that work nor were influenced by it. These epistles are not replies to any attacks on the South but a simple representation of Southern life as viewed by an intelligent Northerner whose opinions are frankly and fearlessly given. The object of this work is to do justice to the Southern planter and at the same time afford information in an agreeable form to the Northerner; and if these objects are obtained in any degree the writer inc consenting to its publication as a volume will be fully rewarded. One important fact ought not to be overlooked which is that ninety-nine out of every hundred of the governesses tutors professional men and others who flock to the South ten thousand a year for the improvement of their fortunes remain the young ladies if they can obtain Southern husbands and identify themselves fully with the Southern Institutions.
