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 people, in the various periods of their History.

In writing these elementary treatises, one especial object has been kept in view—­that of adapting them to the capacities of young people and occasional readers:  by this means, while they embrace information and entertainment for all, they attract the rising generation, by simplicity of language, and clearness of detail, and render comparatively easy the attainment of a knowledge of the leading events of History.

The many high encomiums awarded to these works by the Public Press, and the very considerable acceptance they have met with in Schools and 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.

THESE SERIES OF HISTORIES, BY MISS CORNER, COMPRISE THE FOLLOWING: 

THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND;

A New Edition; with Chronological Table; Twentieth Thousand; 3_s_. 6_d_. cloth, lettered; or bound up with Questions on the History, 4_s_.

Illustrated with a Map, and five Historical Engravings,—­1.  Rowena presenting wine to Vortigern. 2.  King John signing Magna Charta. 3.  Henry VII. proclaimed at the Battle of Bosworth Field. 4.  Oliver Cromwell dissolving the long Parliament. 5.  Coronation of Queen Victoria—­the Peers rendering Homage.

“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 is well written, and admirably adapted for a school or reward book.”—­Academic and Collegiate Circular.

“Miss Corner’s England and Wales, we perceive, has just reached another new edition, in which the addition of the chronological table will be a great desideratum; the work is well written, and is equally adapted for a school, or, indeed, a gift book.”—­Bent’s Literary Advertiser.

“We know no histories more likely to prove useful and agreeable in the instruction of children.”—­Britannia.

“The style of the book throughout renders it worthy of the support it has secured.”—­Gospel Magazine.
