MY SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLMASTERS; OR, THE STORY OF MY EDUCATION. BY HUGH MILLER, author of "Old Red Sandstone," "Footprints of the Creator," "My First Impressions of England," etc. 12mo, cloth. $1.25. "This autobiography is quite worthy of the renowned author. His first attempts at literature, and his career until he stood forth an acknowledged power among the philosophers and ecclesiastical leaders of his native land, are given without egotism, with a power and vivacity which are equally truthful and delightsome."--PRESBYTERIAN. "Hugh Miller is one of the most remarkable men of the age. Having risen from the humble walks of life, and from the employment of a stone-cutter, to the highest rank among scientific men, everything relating to his history possesses an interest which belongs to that of few living men. There is much even in his school-boy days which points to the man as he now is. The book has all the ease and graphic power which in characteristic of his writings."--NEW YORK OBSERVER. "This volume is a book for the ten thousand. It is embellished with an admirable likeness of Hugh Miller, the stone mason--his coat off and his sleeves rolled up--with the implements of labor in hand--his form erect, and his eye bright and piercing. The biography of such a man will interest every reader. It is a living thing--teaching a lesson of self-culture of immense value."--PHILADELPHIA CHRISTIAN OBSERVER. "It is a portion of autobiography exquisitely told. He is a living proof that a single man may contain within himself something more than all the books in the world, some unuttered word, if he will look within and read. This is one of the best books we have had of late, and must have a hearty welcome and a large circulation in America."--LONDON CORRESP. N.Y. TRIBUNE. "It is a work of rare interest; at times having the fascination of a romance, and again suggesting the profoundest views of education and of science. The ex-mason holds a graphic pen; a quiet humor runs through his pages; he tells a story well, and some of his pictures of home life might almost be classed with Wilson's."--NEW YORK INDEPENDENT.
