“Aot Excelled by any 
American Story.” 
THE 
HOOSIER 
SCH00L-MASTEH. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON. 
Finely Illustrated, with 12 Full-Page 
Engravings on Tinted Paper, 
and Numerous Other 
Cuts. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
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 honors. The moral is one of robust man¬ 
hood confirmed in the worst conditions.— American and 
Gazette (Philadelphia). 
The talent of the author is by no means limited to exter¬ 
nal observation, but extends below the surface to shrewd 
recognition of the lights and shades of character. He 
makes free use of the comic element in his descriptions, 
but only when comic objects fall in his way; he is not al¬ 
ways bound on a forlorn pursuit of fun, and docs his read¬ 
ers tlie justice to remember that they arc capable of amuse¬ 
ment without being kept on a broad laugh by perpetual 
caricature. Although possessing a strong sense of tlie ludi¬ 
crous, lie is no cynic; lie is not one who rejoices in making 
sport of tlie faults and foibles of his fellow-creatures; his 
power of satire furnishes him witli a trenchant blade, but 
lie lias too much good-nature to use it for mischief. The 
kindly tone of his volume docs not at all detract from its 
piquant effect, while it will recommend it to many readers 
who prefer humanity to ill-liumor.— New York Tribune. 
It is full of quaint humor, a tender pathos, and vivid de¬ 
scriptions.— New York Standard. 
Tlie “ events " are stirring and dramatic, and tlie 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, aiul illustrated as it is by 
masterly cuts, it should be one of tlie most popular 
books.— Christian Standard (Cincinnati). 
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 Scliool- 
Master,” increases in interest as it goes on, and contains 
some characters truly original.— Spf&igfielcl Republican. 
Some passages in it, for life-like delineation and the sim¬ 
ple, artless beauty which constitute tlie highest perfection 
of story-writing, arc equal to some of the very best passages 
in Dickeus.— Religious Telescope. 
Edward Eggleston's genius for story-telling is now flower¬ 
ing out in “ The Hoosier School-Master,” an illustrated 
story, which promises to be of rare interest.— Sunday-school 
'Times. 
Edward Eggleston's story, “Tlie Hoosier School-Master,” 
affords one of tlie most graphic and picturesque portrait¬ 
ures of tlie early frontier life ot 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. — N. Y. Evening Mail. 
Tlie London Fun says of this book, an edition of which 
lias appeared in England: 
“ The TLoosier School-Master, both by its description as a 
book of American liumor and by tlie cut on the wrapper, 
would lead one to suppose it was something in tlie ‘Josh 
Billings ’ line. It is, however, a pleasant disappointment to 
find it a charming story in tlie vein of Wendell Holmes; 
humorous it is true, but full of a rough, natural pathos that 
will commend itself to all readers. AVe must keep an eye on 
Mr. Eggleston.”
