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. Robert Pagebrook, the “Man of 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 aud attract¬ 
ive colors. It is a life which the author lias himself known 
and loved, and lie writes of it with a warmth that comes 
from the heart.—A. Y. Evening Post. 
Really readable in the most refreshing sense of the term— 
[ a story of the most amusing and attractive interest.— St. 
j Louis Times. 
It is written in an off-hand manner, and is bright and 
amusing.— Worcester , Jlass., Spy. 
With Virginian life as a specialty, Mr. Eggleston lias 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 hook it is 
evident that Mr. Eggleston lias drawn oftener on his memory 
than on his imagination ; that lie 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.
