“The field of Revolutionary Romance was a rich one, and Mr. Simms has worked it
admirably.”

—Louisville Journal.

“But few novelists of the age evince more power in the conception of a story, more
artistic skill in its management, or more naturalness in the final denouément than Mr
Simms.”

—Mobile Daily Advertiser.

“Not only par excellence the literary man of the South, but next to no romance writer
in America.”

—Albany Knickerbocker.

“Simms is a popular writer, and his romances are highly creditable to American
literature.”

—Boston Olive Branch.

“These books are replete with daring and thrilling adventures, principally drawn
from history.”

—Boston Christian Freeman.

“We take pleasure in noticing another of the series which Redfield is presenting to
the country of the brilliant productions of one of the very ablest of our American
authors—of one indeed who, in his peculiar sphere, is inimitable. This volume is a
continuation of `The Partisan.'”

—Philadelphia American Courier.

SIMMS' POETICAL WORKS.

Poems: Descriptive, Dramatic, Legendary, and Contemplative.
By Wm. Gilmore Simms. With a portrait on steel. 2 vols.,
12mo, cloth; price $2.50.

Contents: Norman Maurice; a Tragedy.—Atalantis; a Tale of the Sea.—Tales and
Traditions of the South.—The City of the Silent—Southern Passages and Pictures.—
Historical and Dramatic Sketches.—Scripture Legends.—Francesca da Rimini, etc.

“We are glad to see the poems of our best Southern author collected in two handsome
volumes. Here we have embalmed in graphic and melodious verse the scenic
wonders and charms of the South; and this feature of the work alone gives it a permanent
and special value. None can read `Southern Passages and Pictures' without
feeling that therein the poetic aspects, association, and sentiment of Southern life and
scenery are vitally enshrined. `Norman Maurice' is a dramatic poem of peculiar scope
and unusual interest; and `Atalantis,' a poem upon which some of the author's finest
powers of thought and expression are richly lavished. None of our poets offer so great
a variety of style or a more original choice of subjects.”

—Boston Traveller.

“His versification is fluent and mellifluous, yet not lacking in point of vigor when an
energetic style is requisite to the subject.”

—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

“Mr. Simms ranks among the first poets of our country, and these well-printed
volumes contain poetical productions of rare merit.”

—Washington (D. C.) Star.
