Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Staff Officer, Vol. 1: Or the Soldier of Fortune; A Tale of Real Life
Excellent man! How well do I recollect his pompous strut across the brief court-yard which separated the school-room from his house of resi dence, and the audible haw/cs! And hems! With which he never failed to give tidings of his ap proach. The boisterous noise of five score tongues, and twice as many hands, was in an instant subdued into broken murmurs, and before his well-powdered head displayed its snowy honors in the school-room, all was mute, save the soft hum of affected application to the lessons of the morning.
