e
successive ages."--_Baptist Magazine_.
"Miss Corner appears to be an excellent historian for the school room.
She narrates with fluency and clearness, and in a concise and lively
manner, the leading facts, so as to convey the spirit of history, and
indicate the characteristics of the people and the country, as well as
the rulers and famous characters."--_Spectator_.
"We look upon Miss Corner's work with great interest, as being
peculiarly adapted to the minds of young people, and being free from
that inversion of facts by which history is so often made subservient
to party purposes."--_Nonconformist_.
THE HISTORY OF DENMARK, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY;
2_s_. 6_d_. cloth, lettered; with a Map, and two elegant Historical
Engravings.

Submission of the Order of Nobles to Frederick III.
"The two chief qualities of a good book are usefulness of subject and
cleverness of handling, and these requisites Miss Corner's histories
exhibit in an eminent degree. The frequent intermixtures of government
between the three countries have indeed tended materially to embarrass
this portion of European history, but Miss Corner by an accurate
arrangement of dates, and a judicious connection of events, has set
every thing in a clear light."--_Post Magazine._
THE HISTORY OF POLAND AND RUSSIA;
3_s_. 6_d_. cloth, lettered; with a Map, and three elegant Historical
Engravings.

Inhabitants of Moscow at the approach of the French army.
"This volume forms one of a series of histories for the use of young
persons; the present volume is, however, more descriptive than
historical, which we consider an advantage; the living manners of the
Poles and Russians being much more instructive and entertaining to
young English readers."--_Tait's Magazine_.
"Miss Corner has succeeded in compressing into a small compass all the
leading events of history, without the slightest obscurity, or without
sinking her book into a dry chronicle of facts."--_Britannia_.
THE HISTORY OF TURKEY AND THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE; INCLUDING GREECE, SYRIA,
