Besides her compositions in verse, upon which Hooper's notability chiefly rests, she was the author of many prose articles of merit.
Among them was the prize essay on “Domestic Happiness.” But, like Henry Kirke White, the Davidson sisters, Lucretia and Margaret, as well as others, Hooper's early, brilliant career ended when she was young.
One or two poetical effusions were copied from Riker's Book of Poetry and Flowers, which was edited by Hooper a few months before her death.
Hooper's prose writings have never been collected and published in a volume, excepting a few tales, entitled Scenes from Real Life.
When arranged for publication they were to make two volumes, one of "Tales and Essays", another "Religious and Moral Stories", for juvenile readers.
