LAND. By the Rev. JAMES WHITE. (The
Twenty-second Thousand.)
"We hold this to be a pattern volume of cheap literature. It is so
written that it cannot fail to amuse and enlighten the more ignorant;
yet it is a book that may be read with pleasure and profit, too, by the
most polished scholar. In a word, excellent gifts are applied to the
advantage of the people--a poetical instinct and a full knowledge of
English History. It has nothing about it of common-place compilation. It
is the work of a man of remarkable ability, having as such a style of
its own, and a grace that cannot fail to exercise its refining influence
upon uneducated people. The amount of solid information it compresses in
a small compass excites in the reader's mind repeated surprise."--_The
Examiner._

"This book, with its companion volume, deserves to have a place in every
house where there are young readers, and in many a house where there are
none but elder ones, able to appreciate the genial writings of a man,
who having taste and knowledge at command, sits down to write in the
simplest way the story of a people for a people's reading."--_Examiner._

GOLDSMITH'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND. A New Edition, with Continuation to the
Death of Wellington. With Portraits of all the Sovereigns.
"In this edition, the editor has added some facts which had been
overlooked by the author, and preceded the original work by a short
notice of the earlier history, gathered from the old chroniclers, and
continued to the present time. To each chapter is appended a series of
questions, by means of which the tutor will readily be enabled to
examine the pupil as to the impressions the facts have made on his
memory."
