A Man of Honor. 
By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON. 
Finely Illustrated. 
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 has himself known 
and loved, and lie writes of it with a warmth that comes 
from the heart.— N. Y. Evening Post. 
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 m«ch 
so, but 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 ofteneron his memory 
tlian on his imagination; that he lias lived among the people 
whom he describes, lias heard them talk, and seen them 
under ail the moods of ordinary life.— Boston Daily Adver¬ 
tiser.
