The story has the charm which is always
found in Mr. TROWBRIDGE'S works.
"Many a teacher could profit by reading of this
plucky little schoolmaster."--_Journal of

"As for the hero of this story, 'His One Fault'
was absent-mindedness. He forgot to lock his
uncle's stable door, and the horse was stolen. In
seeking to recover the stolen horse, he
unintentionally stole another. In trying to
restore the wrong horse to his rightful owner, he
was himself arrested. After no end of comic and
dolorous adventures, he surmounted all his
misfortunes by downright pluck and genuine good
feeling. It is a noble contribution to juvenile
literature."--_Woman's Journal._

"TROWBRIDGE'S other books have been admirable and
deservedly popular, but this one, in our opinion,
is the best yet. It is a story at once spirited
and touching, with a certain dramatic and artistic
quality that appeals to the literary sense as well
as to the story-loving appetite. In it Mr.
TROWBRIDGE has not lectured or moralized or
remonstrated; he has simply shown boys what they
are doing when they contemplate hazing. By a good
artistic impulse we are not shown the hazing at
all; when the story begins, the hazing is already
over, and we are introduced immediately to the
results. It is an artistic touch also that the boy
injured is not hurt because he is a fellow of
delicate nerves, but because of his very strength,
and the power with which he resisted until
overcome by numbers, and subjected to treatment
which left him insane. His insanity takes the form
of harmless delusion, and the absurdity of his
ways and talk enables the author to lighten the
sombreness without weakening the moral, in away
that ought to win all boys to his side."--_The
Critic._
