NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It is full of quaint humor, a tender pathos, and vivid de¬ 
scriptions.— Neio York Standard. 
The “ events ” are stirring and dramatic, and the style is 
quiet, 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 he one of the most popular 
books .—Christian Standard (Cincinnati). 
The development of the story is substantially a rude epic 
of truth, gentleness, and true pluck. For the young master, 
younger than most of his pupils, far more cultivated in 
every direction than any of the population, and practically 
religious, instructs the community as well as the school; 
reclaims some of the worst, foils some, and lias some de¬ 
tected and punished; encourages and loves, and is loved 
by a charming orphan, and graduates into a higher position 
with the highest honorB. The moral is one of robust man¬ 
hood confirmed in the worst conditions.— American and 
Gazette (Philadelphia). 
For realistic conception and life-like delineation of char¬ 
acter, it is not excelled by any American story. — Methodist. 
Mr. Eggleston’s powerful novel, ‘'The Hoosier School- 
Master,” increases in interest as it goes on, and contains 
some characters truly original.— Springfield Republican. 
Some passages in it, for life-like delineation and the sim¬ 
ple, artless beauty which constitute the highest perfection 
of story-writing, arc equal to some of the very best passages 
in Dickens,— Religions Telescope. 
Edward Eggleston’s genius for story-telling is now flower¬ 
ing out in “The I-Ioosier School-Master,” an illustrated 
story, which promises to he of rare interest.- Sunday-School 
'Times. 
Edward Eggleston's story, “ The Hoosier School-Master,” 
affords one of the most graphic and picturesque portrait¬ 
ures of the early frontier life ol the West which lias ever 
been written. Some of his character sketches are inimita¬ 
ble, and all have an individuality and freshness which stamp 
him as a genuine artist.—JV. Y. Evening Mail.
