Cora Linn Daniels

Cora Linn Daniels (née, Morrison; pen names, Australia and Lucrece; March 17, 1852 – 1934) was a 19th-century American author from Massachusetts.

She served as editor of the literature department of William Henry Harrison Murray's weekly newspaper, The Golden Rule (1875–78).

When William Henry Harrison Murray conceived the idea of publishing The Golden Rule, in Boston, he invited her to contribute a series of articles descriptive of prominent racehorses.

Becoming New York correspondent for the Hartford Daily Times, her letters appeared regularly therein for 10 years, touching upon every possible subject, but more particularly devoted to dramatic criticism, art and reviews of notable books.

[9] It was reviewed by Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly who stated that it "is a singularly imaginative little book, by Mrs. Cora Linn Daniels, whose essay in romance, entitled Sardia (Lee and Shepard, 1891),[10] attracted some attention a year or two since.

Mrs. Daniels builds up an ingenious scheme of universal revelation, based upon individual psychological intimations—or, as she chooses to call them, 'the message of the Voices'.

Professor Elliott Coues, for instance, writes: "If you commune with an extraneous spirit you have a wise, strong and good counselor.

Her entry in A Woman of the Century states that her travels in the U.S. were extensive; she "spent twenty winters in New York City, varied by trips to Washington, D.C., Bermuda and the West....

"[5] Her most-prized literary possession was a volume of more than three hundred letters from distinguished people all over the world, full of thanks and compliments for reviews and notes of themselves or their works.
