OPINIONS.

“Eloquent and intelligible; clear and graceful.”—Boston Evening Transcript.

“New, refreshing, and elevated thoughts.”—Round Table.

“Its sweet pathos and comforting sympathy at once warm and interest us.”—Albany Journal.

“Rational, beautiful, soothing, and uplifted too.”—N. Y. Liberal Christian.

“A beautiful and touching book.”—Philadelphia Presbyterian.

“A high-toned religious book, well written, and which will be of real service to sorrow-vexed hearts.”—St. Louis Democrat.

“A work of genius sanctified by sorrow.”—New Orleans Crescent.

“Dr. Holcombe is a fine writer: a master of style, with a marvelous command of choice phrases. He appears in this book to great advantage. Striking at times the deeper and finer chords of the human heart, he causes them to vibrate in unison with all that is pure and holy in heaven and earth.”—Southern Quarterly Review.

THE SEXES:

HERE AND HEREAFTER.

This book is philosophic, poetic, religious, without a word about medicine or physiology. It is for young and old lovers, for single and married, for husbands and wives upon earth who would be husbands and wives hereafter.

OPINIONS.

“It breathes a pure and elevated spirit, and has many thoughts which will commend themselves sympathetically to the followers of all Christian faiths.”—New York Independent.

“The most marked literary production of the season.”—San Francisco Bulletin.

“A beautifully written volume.”—Chicago Tribune.

“Here is thought on a noble theme, crystallized in beautiful, bright, and lasting gems. It adorns, exalts, and etherealizes double-sexed humanity, and endues marriage with supernal purity.”—New Orleans Bulletin.

“A work of sustained elegance of style. Whatever may be said of its opinions, Dr. Holcombe’s essay must be credited with unexceptionable purity and refinement. Its tone is religious and its theology orthodox, accepting fully the supremacy of scriptural authority.”—Lippincott’s Magazine.

“Rarely, if ever, has the marriage state been lifted into so lofty and elevating, so spiritualized, yet so sweetly human, an ideal.”—New Orleans Picayune.

“It is treated morally, religiously, and philosophically, and the result is a good and valuable book among the piles of trash now being uttered and written on the subject of woman.”—St. Louis Republican.
