THE 
HOOSIER 
SCHOOL-MASTER. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON. 
Finely Illustrated, with 12 Full-Page 
Engravings on Tinted Paper, 
and Numerous Other 
Cuts. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
More than one “Yankee school-mann” now laboring in 
the West will both smile ancl weep over scenes which find 
their counterpart in their own daily experience. There ia 
no exaggeration in style or incident; indeed, the book 
should be many times larger ere Edward Eggleston laid 
aside a pen which had told but half the joys or trials which 
await a Hoosier school-master. This is one of those books 
that will live, and future years will give the story an added 
charm and pathos, and its author undying lame.— American 
Housewife. 
It is in the fullest sense a powerful novel, and displays an 
originality as rare as it is fascinating.—>SA Louis Democrat. 
It is one of the best works of fiction we have read for¬ 
mally a day. We knew many of the characters in it, that is, 
we have seen men, women, and children like them. It will 
do .— Central Christian Advocate. 
It is the best serial we ever remember to have read. 
Except in length and number of characters, it is not behind 
Dickens’s masterpiece, “David Copperfield.” It is true to 
nature; nothing is distorted, nothing overdrawn ; it has not 
an impossible character in it.— The Commonwealth, Salem, O. 
Though many will view the book from every other stand¬ 
point, loe think its greatest charm is in the fact that it brings 
one nearer to Christ. Oh! with' our hand in Shocky’s,we 
assure all that arc in any doubt that God hasn't forgot, and 
that He never will forget; and though sometimes He chooses 
to lead us through the night, the way is always heaven¬ 
ward.— Wood's Household Magazine. 
The plot is very simple, and of eas 3 r prevision from the 
first, being the struggles of Ralph Hartsook with the young 
idea in the district school on Flat Creek, where the twig 
was early bent to thrash the school-master.The story 
is very well told, in a plain fashion, without finely-studied 
points.Mr. Eggleston is the first to touch in fiction 
the kind of life lie has represented, and we imagine that 
future observers will hardly touch it in more points. Its 
traits seem to be all here, both the good and the bad ; but 
that it is a past or passing state of things is sufficiently 
testified by the fact, to which Mr. Eggleston alludes in his 
preface, that the story, as it appeared serially, was nowhere 
more popular than in Southern Indiana. . Flat Creek, 
Hoopole County, would not, we imagine, have been so well 
pleased thirty years ago with a portrait which, at any rate, 
is not flattered.— Atlantic Monthly. 
Eggleston’s “Hoosier School-Master” is full of rich and 
racy humor, and makes us regret that its author has turned 
his back to the pulpit, in which wit is nraded quite as much 
as wisdom, and the ability to make men laugh is only less 
valuable than the power of making them weep. In fact, as 
a general thing, lie who can not raise a smile on people’s faces 
may pump in vain for tears. — Golden Age, N.Y. 
Dr. Eggleston lived as a boj r in this region (Southern In¬ 
diana), and this book is a faithful witness that the impres¬ 
sion made upon his mind by its social peculiarities remains 
to this day perfectly distinct and legible. Indeed, we have 
rarely read any story whose truthfulness as a picture of life 
was more apparent. The characters are clearly drawn ; the 
conversation is natural; the whole view of the backwoods 
society is consistent and lifelike.— N. Y. Independent. 
It might be dramatized so as to make a most effective play. 
There is all the material in the book, and a good deal of tin 
work already done to hand.— Newburyiiort (Mass.) Herald » 
It is published in the neat and attractive form wliicl* 
makes all the publications of Orange Judd & Co. such r» 
tasty and welcome addition to the library or library tabic. 
Of the story itself we have had occasion to speak before iif 
terms of unqualified admiration.— Kansas Spirit, Lawrence, 
Kansas. 
Mr. Eggleston’s powerful novel, ‘ The Hoosier School* 
Master,” increases in interest as it goes on, and contains 
some characters truly original.— Springfield liepublican.
