Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Richard Malcolm Johnston was born on March 8, 1822 on the family plantation, "Oak Grove, " near Powelton, Georgia. He was the son of Malcolm and Catherine (Davenport) Johnston, and the great-grandson of Thomas Johnston who emigrated from Scotland and settled in Pennsylvania, later moving to Charlotte County, Virginia; his father was a planter and ordained Baptist preacher.
Johnston graduated from Mercer University, Penfield (now at Macon), in 1841.
After his graduation from Mercer University, Penfield (now at Macon), in 1841, Richard taught for a year in the village of Mount Zion, Hancock County. He then read law in the office of Henry Cumming, Augusta, was admitted to the bar, and became the partner of Eli W. Baxter of Sparta, Georgia.
His law practice from 1844 to 1851 was interrupted by two periods of teaching; in the latter year he formed a partnership with Linton Stephens, brother of Alexander H. Stephens. The opportunity was offered him in 1857 of accepting the judgeship of the northern circuit court of Georgia, the presidency of Mercer University, or the chair of rhetoric and belles-lettres in the University of Georgia. He chose the professorship and remained in Athens until 1861.
From 1862 to 1867 he conducted a school for boys at Rockby, near Sparta, Georgia, which became one of the most widely known and generously patronized in the state. Its discipline included distinct elements of the "honor system, " with none of the espionage and flogging then so widespread. A victim of the Civil War and Reconstruction, he continued this school in Baltimore for several years under the name of Pen Lucy School.
While a clerk in the bureau of education at Washington, 1896-98, he compiled at the request of Commissioner W. T. Harris what is probably the most complete record extant of the picturesque old field schools of his boyhood in Georgia.
He took up fiction writing almost by chance and largely because of the encouragement of Henry C. Turnbull, Jr. , a Baltimore publisher, and Sidney Lanier, who was his most loyal friend and earliest critic. His first, most popular, and most characteristic volume of local-color fiction was Dukesboro Tales (1871).
He lectured with several contemporary humorists - once, in 1889, with Mark Twain, who was the guest of the Johnstons in Baltimore. It is related that Twain, with characteristic generosity, refused to accept any of the receipts for the evening's lecture, leaving the entire proceeds to Johnston and his family, then in rather needy circumstances.
Richard Malcolm Johnston died in Baltimore, Maryland.
Richard Johnston was a distinguished author, who devoted himself entirely to literature and produced a vast number of written works, which greatly contributed to the area of education as some of them became textbooks for advanced students. Another Johnston's achievement was in becoming a head of a school for boys at Rockby, near Sparta, Georgia, which became one of the most widely known and generously patronized in the state. Johnston was successful as a lecturer and delivered numerous lectures.

In 1875 he was received into the Roman Catholic Church, in joining which his wife and younger children had preceded him. At his request, there was published posthumously his detailed statement of how and why he had embraced the Catholic faith, the reasons assigned being the historical precedence and infallible authority claimed by that church.
In 1844 Richard Malcolm Johnston was married to Mary Frances, daughter of Eli Mansfield, a native of New Haven, Connecticut.
