Preface

The sketches included in this volume were written during a residence in the South, which has embraced the greater part of the past six years. As far as they go they record real impressions; but they, can never give the inward charm of that beautiful land which the writer has learned to love, and from which she now severs herself with true regret. Two of these sketches have appeared in the “ Atlantic Monthly,” four in “Appletons’ Journal,” and one each in “Scribner’s Monthly,” “The Galaxy,” “ Lippincott’s Monthly,” and “ Harper’s Magazine.”
