OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From the Athenæum.

"Notwithstanding the great number of school histories already published, there was room for Mr. Lord's, which treats of a portion of history too much neglected in schools. The sketches of character are excellent portraits,

and drawn with a free bold touch."

From the Educational Record.

"This work is far better calculated to awaken, in the minds of young students, an intelligent interest in historical study, than any other school history we have met."

From the Church of England Quarterly Review.

"Such a book as this has been long wanted for schools; nothing less ponderous was attainable than Russell's 'Modern Europe;' and here we find the essential facts well and correctly set forth in a small volume."

From the Norfolk News.

"This is one of the best school histories which, for a long time, has fallen under our observation. . . Alike creditable to the historical research of

the author, and to his talent for lucid compression of literary materials. . . It is free from all taint of partizanship..... It will ultimately supplant the inferior historical compendiums which reflect discredit on our school literature." From the Patriot.

"Simple, clear, full, and, though concise, minutely accurate, its matter well arranged, its style pure and perspicuous, this volume deserves to be styled a first-rate school book! In schools of a high order, and especially in ladies' schools, it will meet with a ready welcome, and be speedily and gladly adopted. It ought to be in every school and in every family."

From the Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.

"Wide as is its range, the mass of information is given in clear and attractive style, and we are made to feel a living interest throughout; while occasion is taken to set forth many of the moral truths, which it is the highest task of history to enforce."

From the Empire.

"We promise every thinker a rich repast in this volume, especially at a time when historical references are so much needed to settle the problems of Europe." From the British Banner.

"It is, we think, superior to everything of the sort that has yet been offered to the public."

From the English Journal of Education.

"The style of this work is a model of historical writing. The chronological tables and the questions are full, useful, and good."

From the Lady's Newspaper.

"A concise but luminous history of a most eventful period. It will be found invaluable for the use of schools and private tuition."

"The divisions are broad and distinctive, and the style clear."-Spectator. "A genuine history-the work of a just thinker, and a facile pen."-Tait. "It needs only to be well known to be widely adopted."-Christian Times. "Cannot fail of becoming extensively popular."-Plymouth Journal "Quite a desideratum. . A valuable accession to our literature."-Evan. Mag.
