COMMENCING WITH THE EARLIEST PERIOD OF AUTHENTIC RECORD, AND BROUGHT
DOWN TO THE PRESENT TIME:

ACCURATELY POURTRAYING THE

NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND DOMESTIC HABITS, OF THE PEOPLE.

BY MISS CORNER,

_Author of "Questions on the History of Europe," a Sequel to
Mangnall's Historical Questions, &c. &c._

The object of these works,--peculiarly suited to schools and
families,--is to furnish the reader with a faithful history of each
nation, interspersing it with an accurate account of the religion,
laws, customs, national characteristics, and domestic habits of the

families, are proofs that the efforts of the author to render
historical knowledge pleasing, and easy of attainment, are not
unappreciated by those to whom the care of the rising generation is
entrusted.

"It is important that history meant for young Englishmen should be
free from political poison, and this book will be found
unexceptionable on this score."--_British Banner_.

"We have much pleasure in stating that this book is in another new
edition, and its merits deserve it; it i
