HAGAR, A STORY OF TO-DAY.
By Alice Carey, author of "Clovernook," "Lyra, and Other
Poems," &c. One vol., 12mo, price $1.00.
"A story of rural and domestic life, abounding in humor, pathos, and that naturalness
in character and conduct which made `Clovernook' so great a favorite last season
Passages in `Hagar' are written with extraordinary power, its moral is striking and
just, and the book will inevitably be one of the most popular productions of the season."
"She has a fine, rich, and purely original genius. Her country stories are almost
unequaled."

"The Times speaks of Alice Carey as standing at the head of the living female writers
of America. We go even farther in our favorable judgment, and express the opinion
that among those living or dead, she has had no equal in this country; and we know
of few in the annals of English literature who have exhibited superior gifts of real poetic
genius."
