The (4ieat New Story, 
The End of the 
World. 
A LOVE S T ORY. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON, 
Author of “The Hoosier School-Master' 
WITH 
Thirty-two Fine Illustrations. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The many delighted readers of 11 The Hoosier School- 
Master” will find new pleasure in this last and, if 
possible, more fascinating work.— Washington Daily 
Chionicle. 
Mr. Eggleston has opened a new mine in American 
fictitious literature, as distinct as Cooper did in the 
Indian romances, and he has so far shown great skill in 
working it. “ The Hoosier School-Master ” was a 
decided success, and this new tale is quite its equal.— 
Central Christian Advocate. 
The book is handsome in its make-up, being printed 
on thick paper, and embellished with no less than thirty- 
two engravings, all in excellent style, the designs of 
Frank Beard. It is a story of Western life, not 
encounters with Indians and adventures with varmints, 
but of that Western life that is so much a larger expres¬ 
sion of our Eastern life as to seem at times as only a 
travesty or (xaggeration of our prim New England style. 
—Hartford Evening Post. 
Dr. Eggleston, in striking out into the uncouth wilder¬ 
ness of early “ Iloosierdom ” for the materials of his 
tales, has entered into an emphatically new field, and by 
the production of but two books has achieved for himself 
indisputable immortality.— Dayton Deligious Telescope. 
Its author is acquiring fame by his talents as a writer 
of fiction descriptive of the rough and backwoods life 
of former days. Ilis former story, 11 The Hoosier 
School-Master,” has had a wonderful run, both in this 
country and in Europe. — Pittsburgh Christian Advocate. 
It is a tale of life i:i the Ohio Valley, and, called “a 
love story,” is milch more. The old alluring theme is 
handled with skill, and with a genuineness as far as may 
be from affected sentimentality, and one’s interest is 
well wrought up in the rivalry between the simple- 
minded and honest German, August, and the crafty 
scoundrel and blackleg, Humphreys. Yet it is as a 
chapter of virtual history that the book is chietly notable. 
The plot hinges upon the prediction of the end of the 
world, which, according to the Millerites, was to be ful¬ 
filled on the night of August 11th, 1S43. The scenes of 
that memorable night are depicted with great humor 
and vigor. But the fascination of the book is in 
its characterization of od(J people: Jonas, shrewd and 
irrepressible, with a fund of humor at command and a 
ready tongue to give it vent; Cynthy Ann, meekly reli¬ 
gious, and always on tip-toe against temptation; Mrs. 
Anderson, the scold, who coerces her family with 
threats of heart-disease,; the Backwoods Philosopher, 
who shuts himself up in his castle and utters wisdom at 
the despicable world ; the Steam-Doctor, whose special 
form of quackery is very amusing; the Mud-Clerk, the 
Millerite Preacher, and the Village Loafers. These 
people live and move, and the reader, instead of criticis¬ 
ing the creations of the artist, becomes acquainted with 
men and woman of flesh and blood like unto himself.—
