The newspaper type was rejustified to make a book page, and barely two thousand copies were printed for a first edition.

I remember expressing the opinion that the number was too large.
"The Hoosier School-Master" was pirated with the utmost promptitude by the Messrs.

Routledge, in England, for that was in the barbarous days before international copyright, when English publishers complained of the unscrupulousness of American reprinters, while they themselves pounced upon every line of American production that promised some shillings of profit.

"The Hoosier School-Master" was brought out in England in a cheap, sensational form.

The edition of ten thousand has long been out of print.
