Inauguration of the Spartanburg Female CollegeSpeech | Spartanburg Female College Board of Trustees | 1855
William Gilmore Simms spoke at the opening of the
Spartanburg Female College at approximately 1pm[1]

and other persons involved in the founding of that institution[2]. His remarks were published several weeks

Joscelyn: A Tale of the RevolutionNovel (Romance) | The Reprint Company | 1975, 1976 Although written and
published last among his eight Revolutionary novels in 1867, Joscelyn should be
placed first in the series chronologically, for it lays out the preliminaries

The Charleston Book: A Miscellany in Prose and VerseMiscellany | The Reprint Company; Samuel Hart, Sen. | 1845, 1983 One of the major American cities
of the mid-19th century, Charleston was viewed by its citizens as a
hub of culture and erudition equal to that of the other great cities of the
time, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. To illustrate the quality of the city’s
intellectual life and literary merits, “Charleston book-seller and Reform
Jewish leader Samuel Hart, Sr. proposed that Charlestonians join the trend” of
putting together an anthology of writings by city residents, much as several
other cities had done throughout the late 1830s.[1] Simms, the leading ... |
