Immediately after Mrs. Stowe's return from England in June, 1857pter of The minister's Wooing appeared in the same magazine. Simultaneously with this story was written The Pearl of Orr's Island, published first as a serial in the Independent. She dictated a large part of The minister's Wooing under a great pg in this connection: When I am in the mood for thinking deeply I read The Minister's Wooing. But The Pearl of Orr's Island is my favorite. It is the most charming New England idyl ever written. The minister's Wooing was received with u

Do write to me and tell me of yourself and the subjects which interest us both. It seems to me that our Roman affairs may linger a little (while the Papacy bleeds slowly to death in its finances) on account of this violent clerical opposition in France.

and have never written more graphically, and as if under a genuine inspiration, than in those pages of the Mayflower, of The minister's Wooing, of The Pearl of Orr's Island, and of Norwood, where they have led their readers to and fro over its peaceful hills, and among its peculiar people of long ago. For a season Harriet was ant, --a religious newspaper of great reputation and large circulation throughout the country. In the year 1862 she began to write for its columns The Pearl of Orr's Island, --a pleasant story, whose scene is laid on the beautiful coast of Maine, at Harpswell, not far from Brunswick, where she formerly resided, and whose plan turns upon certain traditions of that seaside community. Summer tourists still visit Orr's Island, and inspect the shell of a house in which the pretty Pearl grew. For many years Mrs. Stowe has been one of the able corps of writers whose articles have enriched the columns of the Atlantic monthly, and no one of them has done more to

In another department of her work, however, Mrs. Stowe stood on surer ground, and her novels of New England life—particularly The minister's Wooing (1859), The Pearl of Orr's Island (1862), Oldtown Folks (1869), Poganuc people (1878）—cannot go unmentioned. Weak in structure and sentimental she remained. Her heroines wrestle with problems of conscience happily alien to all but a few New England and Noncomformist Britisinister's Wooing, are villains to frighten schoolgirls; she writes always as from the pulpit, or at least the parsonage. But where no abstract idea governs her she can be direct, accurate, and convincing. The earlier chapters of The Pearl of Orr's Island must be counted, as Whittier thought, among the purest, truest idyls of New England. It is harder now to agree with Lowell in placing The minister's Wooing first among her novels, and yet no other imaginative treatment so well sets forth the <
