From MARION HARLASD, herself, the writer of the most popular serlat of Novel* 



ever published in this country. 

 "To MESSRS. DERBY <fe JACKSON: 



" I speak my honest sentiments when I pronounce ' Beulah ' the best work of fiction 

 erer published by a Southern writer. To my mind, no American authoress has ever 

 produced a greater book. Can it be true that Miss Evans is young? There is a life-time 

 of thought and research, of struggles of mind and heart, in ' Beulah.' I have read 

 every word with intense interest. The character-painting is fine, the description of pass- 

 ing events and scenery graphic and striking; but to me the chief charm of the book lies 

 in i he vivid portraiture of the doubts, the conflicts, the yearnings and the final triumph 

 of a great soul seeking for truth. If the public can appreciate a thoroughly good work, 

 they will thank you for having given them ' Beulah.' " 



from Rev. Wm, IT. Milburn (.the Blind Preacher Eloquent). 



"I have no hesitation in saying that few books have ever interested me more. The 

 plot, the delineation of character, and the action, I think, are all admirable. It would 

 be an extraordinary work from the hand of any woman, but it is peculiarly so from 

 one so young. The reading of it cannot but do great good." 



From Frederic & Cossens, author of the " Sparrotcgrast Papers." 



" I have been greatly interested by this story of the Mobile heroine, and I am con- 

 vinced that the story will produce a sympathetic impression on the public mind. There 

 is not a word in it, nor a phrase in it, that I have not meted and measured. Over and 

 above the method of telling the story, the story itself wins, commands, controls the 

 sympaties of the reader. This, I take it, is the highest test of excellence." 



From the Home Journal. 



" Since the appearance of ' Jane Eyre,' no volume has fallen from the pen of a lady 

 writer evincing more power and learning than the novel ' Beulah,' and we do not hesi- 

 tate to say that in the production of this volume, Miss Evans has achieved the highest 

 rank among novelists of her sex in this country." 



From the New York Evening Pott. 



"J3he has, at any rate, established a rank among the best novelists of her sex whom 

 our country can boast, and we do not remember any work of fiction which has been 

 produced in this country for years, which is written with more power and is more full of 

 promise than ' Beulah.' * She has achieved a decided literary success, a success which 

 will at least be as cordially recognized at the North as at the South." 



From the Boston Post. 



" ' Beulah ' is a book of great merit, and one which will bear critical and close inspec- 

 tion. * * * The volume is one deserving the attraction of the reading public. It 

 is healthy in sentiment, pure in its influences, and grand in its treatment of great 

 moral questions. As a literary work, ' Beulah ' will rank with any issue of the day."
