CAMERON HALL-A STORY OF THE
CIVIL WAR. BY M. A. G..
We have received from Messrs.
Dufie & Chapman a copy of the
above work. It is a large volume,
embracing over 500 pages. The
scene opens in Virginia, but tho
reader travels quite extensively over
the ''so-called" Confederacy. With
out attempting to discuss its beauty
and merits-and we assure the reader
that it has many attractive features
we give the authors preface, as n
sufficient introduction to the work:
'The following story was complet-
ed several months before the termina-
ton of the war-the result of which.
so different from our anticipations
seemed at first to necessitate change,
or at least modification, of many of
the opinions and hopes confidently
expressed by some of the characters.
Upon reflection, however, it WIS de-
cided to leave it as it is-a truthful
picture, as it is believed to be, not
only of scenes and events which oc-
Cured Immediately around the au-
thors home, but also of the inner
thoughts and feelings, the hopes and
expectations-in word, the animus-
of the Southern heart. In the de-
lineation of scenes, all exaggeration
has been avoided, and middle
ground has been taken. One section
of the country will most probably
pronounce them OuertlraWn; the other,
alas! will hno,o and feel that 'the
half has not been told.
81 send my book out, neither chal-
longing nor fearing criticism. It
pretends to have no great literary
merit; but it does claim to belong
rather to truth than to fiction, and
this claim will be ackno wledged by
thousands of hearts in this our land.h
The book is published by Messrs.
J. b. Lippincott & Co., of Philadel-
phia. Price So copy.
