1866. Wilson has been called the foremost Southern velist of her time. She wrote nine books of which St. Elmo is her most well-kwn. The book begins: He stood and measured the earth; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow. These words of the prophet upon Shigioth were sung by a sweet, happy, childish voice, and to a strange, wild, amalous tune-solemn as the Hebrew chant of Deborah, and fully as triumphant.
