BY MISS CORNER,

Author of. Questions on the History of Hurepe,” a Sequel to
Mangnall’s Historical Questions, Se. &e.

Tne 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 know-
ledge ‘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 attain-
ment, are not unappreciated by these to whom the care of the
rising generation is intrusted.
