NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It is full of quaint humor, a tender pathos, and vivid de¬ 
scriptions.—ifep 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 
hooks .—Christian Standard (Cincinnati). 
For realistic conception and life-like delineation of char¬ 
acter, it is not excelled by any American story .—Methodist. 
Some passages in it, for life-like delineation and the sim¬ 
ple, artless beauty which constitute the highest perfection 
of story-writing, are equal to some of the very best passages 
in Dickens .—Religious Telescope.

The End of the World, 
A LOYE STORY. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON, 
Author of “The Hoosier School-Master A 
WITH 
Thirty-two Fine Illustrations. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The personages who figure in this story are, with one 
exception, country people—such men and women as 
Wordsworth loved to study. It is not every man, what¬ 
ever may be his talents, that can safely enter this sphere 
of literary labor. To he successful in it, lie must possess 
exceptional qualities; but for those who know howto 
find it, here there is gold of the purest, richest kind. In 
such a work, however, there is no convenient place 
where mediocrity can rest; there is nothing but absolute 
failure or absolute success. And Mr. Eggleston lias suc¬ 
ceeded. His power lies in the delineation of character. 
The plot is ingenious and natural, the incidents are man¬ 
aged with great skill, and there are many descriptive 
passages of singular force and beauty. But the strongest 
impression left on the reader’s mind as he closes the 
volume is that he has been in the company of very inter¬ 
esting men and women, and has made a number of new 
and valuable acquaintances.— The Albion , New York.

A Man of Honor. 
By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON, 
Finely Illustrated. 
The publishers take pleasure in commending this as 
one of the most charming stories that has been presented 
to the American people. Mr. Eggleston has given to it, 
with rare fidelity, the local coloring of the part of the 
country where its scenes are laid. It is a realistic story 
of life in the Old Dominion. Its people are ladies and 
gentlemen. RobertPagebrook, the “Manof Honor,’’ is 
every inch a man, and his sayings and doings at once at¬ 
tract and hold the reader’s attentive interest. It is a 
love-story, too, and has the merit, which is not as com¬ 
mon as it might be nowadays, of ending to the reader’s 
entire satisfaction. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
A capital picture of Life in Old Virginia before the war is 
to he found in Mr. George Cary Eggleston’s “A Man of 
Honor.” Virginian hospitality, Virginian cousinship, Vir¬ 
ginian housekeeping, are portrayed in accurate and attract¬ 
ive colors. It is a life which the author lias himself known 
and loved, and he writes of it with a warmth that comes 
from the heart.— N. Y. Evening l^ost. 
Really readable in the most refreshing sense of the term— 
a story of the most amusing and attractive interest.— St. 
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 sketchy, perhaps too much 
so, hut 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 lias drawn oftener on his memory 
than on his imagination ; that he has lived among the people 
whom lie describes, has heard them talk, and seen them 
under all the moods of ordinary life .—Boston Daily Adver¬ 
tiser.
