OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"An unusually clever tale, that by its sprightliness, its clear delineations of charm and its vigorous and sparkling style, will afford entertainment to every class of reader—Book Trade

"The 'Snow-Bird' elicits a thrill of deep and exquisite pleasure, even exceeding that which accompanied 'Linda,' which was generally admitted to be the best story ever written for a newspaper. That was certainly high praise, but 'Rena' takes precedent even of its predecessor, and, in both, Mrs. Lee Hentz has achieved a triumph of no ordinary kind. It is not that old associations bias our judgment, for though from the appearance, years since, of the famous 'Mob Cap,' in this paper, we formed an exalted opinion of the womanly and literary excellence of the writer, our feelings have, in the interim had quite sufficient leisure to cool; yet after the lapse of years, we have continued to maintain the same literary devotion to this best of our female writers. The two latest productions of Mrs. Lee Hentz now fully confirm our previously formed opinion, and we unhesitatingly commend 'Rena,' now published in book form by A. Hart, Chestnut and Fourth streets, as a story which, in its varied, deep, and thrilling interest, has no superior."—American Courier.

"Rena; or, the Snow-Bird," by Caroline Lee Hentz. This new story, from one of our most fascinating writers of fiction, published by A. Hart, of this city, is a charmin production. It is destined to an equal popularity with "Linda."—Arthur's Home Gazette.

"It will be found to be the best story which Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz has ever given to the public. In view of the wonderful popularity of her 'Mob Cap,' and her most recent triumph in the universally admired 'Linda,' we express a volume of praise ing 'Rena,' her charming, beautiful 'Snowbird,' will be found to excel even those wonderful creations of her genius."—Saturday Courier.
