The volumes were for the use of English students working in Southern studies. Authors who presented books were: Frances Courtenay Baylor Barnum, Alexander Brown, William Hand Browne, Madison Cawein, American novelist Winston Churchill, J.L.M. Curry, George Cary Eggleston, Alcée Fortier, Ellen Glasgow, Constance Cary Harrison, Mary Johnston, William Preston Johnston, E.S. Joynes, Grace King, Julia Magruder, John S.
