NOTICES BY TIIE PRESS. 
It Is fall t>t quaint liuraor, a tender pathos, and vivid de- 
scriptions.— New York Standard. 
The " events " are stirrin<r and dramatic, and the style is 
qniet Impersonal, and almost epigrammatic in its ability to 
lay bare an entire situation or character in a sentence or 
phrase.— Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 
It is at once quaint and truthful, and illustrated as it is by 
masterly cuts, it should be one of the most popular 
books.— Ohrtottan Standard (Cincinnati). 
For realistic conception and life-like delineation of char- 
acter, it is not excelled by any American story.— Methodist. 
Some passages in it, for life-like delineation and the sim- 
ple, artless beauty which constitute the highest perfection 
of story-writing:, are equal to some of the very best passages 
in Dickens.— Religious Telescope.

The End of the World, 
A LOVE STORY. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON, 
Author of "The Booster School- Master." 
WITH 
Thirtv-two Fine Illustrations. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The personages who figure in this story are, with one 
exception, country people— such men and women as 
Wordsworth loved to study. It is not every man, what- 
ever may be his talents, that can safely enter this sphere 
of literary labor. To be successful in it, he must, possess 
exceptional qualities ; but for those who know how to 
find it, here There is gold of the purest, richest kind. In 
such a work, howovor, there is no convenient place 
where mediocrity can rest; there is nothing but absolute 
failure or absolute success. And Mr. E^gleston has suc- 
ceeded. His power lies in the delineation of character. 
The plot is ingenious and natural, the incidents are man- 
aged with great skill, and there are many descriptive 
.passages of singular force and beauty. But the strongest 
impression left on the reader's mind as he closes the 
volume is that he has been in the company of very inter- 
esting men and women, and has made a number of new 
and valuable acquaintances.— The Albion, New York.
