“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.
