A Man of Honor. 
By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON. 
Finely Illustrated. 
NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 
A capital picture of Life iu Old Virginia before the war Is 
to lie found in Mr. George Cary Eggleston's "A Man of 
Honor." Virginian hospitality, Virgiuian cousinship, Vir- 
ginian housekeeping, are portrayed in accurate and attract- 
ive colors. It is a life which the author has himself known 
and loved, and lie writes of it with a warmth that comes 
from the heart.— JV. Y. Evening Post. 
Really readable in the most refreshing sense of the term— 
a story of the most amusing and attractive interest.— £?. 
Louis Times. 
It is written in an off-hand manner, and is bright and 
amusing.— Worcester. {Mass.') Spy. 
With Virginian life as a specialty, Mr. Eggleston has drawn 
a simple, straightforward, truthful, and withal, artistic pic- 
ture of Southern society. It is Bketchy, perhaps too much 
so, but the sketches are all vigorous and show the hand of a 
practiced artist. In forming the characters of his book it is 
evident that Mr. Eggleston has drawn oftener on his memory 
than on his imagination ; that he has lived among the people 
whom he describes, has heard them talk, and seen them 
under all the moods of ordinary life— Boston Haiti/ Advei ■ 
User.
