Description
Mrs Emma Southworth's India: The Pearl of Pearl River is presented in the publisher's front pages as the best work she had yet written. Peterson of Philadelphia sold it complete in one cloth volume for one dollar and twenty-five cents, or in two paper volumes for one dollar, postage free anywhere in the United States. The praise quoted is long and warm.
India, it says, delineates life and manners faithfully, without entering on vexed social, religious, or political questions, and gives a vivid picture of the South-West. Its two heroines are finely contrasted. Its hero is a noble creation who goes West, leaves the luxuries he was used to, and settles in a rude log hut, set on conquering fortune with his right hand. No fiction of hers, the notice claims, bears such proof of careful finish.
