Excerpt from Rodman the Keeper: Southern Sketches The sketches included in this volume were writ ten during a residence in the South, which has em braced 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 beau tiful 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 At lantic Monthly, four in Appletons'ljournal, and one each in Scribner's Monthly, The Galaxy.
