THE WORKS OF MRS. HEMANS,
COMPLETE; INCLUDING A MEMOIR BY HER SISTER,
AND AN ESSAY ON HER GENIUS, BY MRS. SIGOURNEY.
A new and beautiful Edition, printed on fine paper, with a Portrait of
the Authoress, handsomely bound in embossed cloth, or in calf and
morocco, extra, with gilt edges, forming a beautiful and appropriate present
for ladies; in 7 vols. royal 12mo.
This is the only complete edition of the works of Mrs. Hemans, and
contains many new poems, together with other matter not embraced in any
other edition of her works.
“Of the poems of Mrs. Hemans it is unnecessary for us to speak. They have been
too long known, too much admired, and too widely circulated to need our commendation;
but we must express gratitude to the publishers for the elegant and complete
manner in which this edition is issued, and express the hope that it may be the fireside
companion of all who love nature and a pure unaffected expression of the kindest
affection of a heart imbued with the pure love which springs from true religion.”

A Third Edition of the Biography and Poetical Remains
OF THE LATE
MARGARET MILLER DAVIDSON,
BY WASHINGTON IRVING;
In One Volume, handsomely bound in embossed cloth.
“The volume here presented is very attractive. The Biography by Irving derives
a great interest from the affectionate dignity with which a mother, not unworthy of
such daughters, seems to have preserved the record of the development of the powers
of mind, and graces of character, of her gifted and fated child; while the prose and
poetical remains attest the taste and talent which a premature grave snatched from
the world.”

THE POETICAL REMAINS OF THE LATE
LUCRETIA M. DAVIDSON,
Collected and Arranged by her Mother,
WITH A BIOGRAPHY BY MISS SEDGWICK,
In One handsome Volume, to match Irving's Biography of Margaret.
“We have read the contents of these volumes with serene and sober delight. They
possess a charm which, to us, is irresistible, and which forbids the intrusion of any
other feeling than one of respect, of wonder, or of love. The pieces in the volume
now before us, (which is printed and bound in a style to correspond with the Remains
of Margaret,) are mostly tinctured with the hue of melancholy; there are few of
them that do not convey a moral; and many appear to have been written under the
influence of serious impression and deep devotional feelings.”
