The BLACK Tale Of Plantation Life in South Caro-
pincOtt & Co.
The author of this work is the wife of HENRY
Rowe SCHooLCRAFT, LII. D., the Indian Historian,
and being native of South Carolina, where her
ancestors have lived from its earliest settlement it
is to be presumed that the local customs of the peO
pie of that State will be presented in such manner,
even under the garb of fiction as to show to the I'M
initiated the mysteries of plantation life In this
the reader will not be disappointed. Intermixed
with this story of plantation life will be found
very vigorous defense of slavery, suggested we
should Judge BY Mrs. STowEs Uncle Toms Cabin.
1t also contains great deal of historical matter in
regard to South Carolina which will be found very
interesting The most interesting portions of the
work however those IN which the local customs
of the people are narrated. 1t is very readable
and perhaps OppOrtune work

Prof BIEDsoE, in his introduction, says of this
work: Il will not offend the modesty of the author,
nor the taste of the Christian reader by writing
panegyric on the merits of the following volume
1t can and will speak for itself. All it needs is
fair hearing. But the interests of truth require me
say that, while discussing subject of the highest
Importance it exhibits of the best attributes of
good writing, in being at Obvious and original.
So obvious indeed are of its trains of refec-
ton when once stated. that the reader scarcely
resist the impression that he has them before
and yet they are so original, that he may search
whole libraries for them in vain. Nor is this the
chief merit of the book. partakes of the nature
of divine truth itself in that it is alike adapted to
interest the child and the sage or what is still bet
ter to awaken serious thought and confer lasting
benefit the reader who. like the present writer
is neither a child nor sage. Only let it be read
and it cannot fail to do good wherever the of
Christianity respected or the best interests of So
ciety are understood and valued" 1
