[Next Project] The Hoosier Schoolmaster by Edward Eggleston

[Jason Livermore]

I'd like to pitch this as my next project. Wikipedia says, "The novel is noted for its realistic depictions of 19th-century American rural life and for its use of local dialect."

There is a somewhat lengthy preface by the author, and a shorter one from the first edition. I assume I'll cut the illustrations.

OK, sure. Please send a link to your repo once you start.

I think we should keep the first edition preface, and not the library
edition preface. As you noted the library edition preface seems shorter,
it was probably condensed to fit the library format. It also includes an
excerpt from the first edition preface which also suggests that that
preface should be preferred.
