THE HISTORY OF FRANCE;

Eleventh Thousand, New Edition, with continuation of events

to the Presidency of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. With
Chronological Table.

2s. 6d. cloth, lettered; or bound up with Questions on the
History, 3s.

Illustrated with a Map, and three Historical Engravings,—
1. The Coronation of Charles VII. 2. A French Tilt, or Tourna-
ment. 3. Bonaparte’s Expedition across the Alps.

‘“The Writer has borne in mind throughout, that simplicity of style was
essential to her purpose, and has selected those facts which are best adapted

to give an idea of the events and the customs of the successive ages.” — Baptist
Magazine

‘‘ Miss Corner appears to be an excellent historian for the school room. She
narrates with fluency and clearness, andin a concise and lively manner, the
leading facts, so as to convey the spirit of history, and indicate the character-

istics of the people and the country, as well as the rulers and famous cha-
racters.”’—Sypectator.

‘*We look upon Miss Corner’s work with great interest, as being peculiarly
adapted to the minds of young people, and being free from that inversion of
facts by which history is so often made subservient to party purposes.”—
Nonconformist.

THE HISTORY OF DENMARK, SWEDEN,
AND NORWAY ;

2s. 6d. cloth, lettered; with a Map, and two elegant Histo-
rical Engravings.
1. A Norwegian Family listening to the Songs of their Scalds.
2. Submission of the Order of Nobles to Frederick III.

“The two chief qualities of a good book are usefulness of subject and clever-
ness of handling, and these requisites Miss Corner’s histories exhibit in an
eminent degree. The frequent intermixtures of government between the three
countries have indeed tended materially to embarrass this portion of European
history, but Miss Corner, by an accurate arrangement of dates, and a judicious
connection of events, has set every thing in a clear light.”—Post Mugazine.

THE HISTORY OF POLAND AND RUSSIA;

3s. 6d. cloth, lettered; with a Map, and three elegant Histo-
rical Engravings.
1. Assassination of Demetrius. 2. John Cassimer, worn out by
misfortune, resigning his crown to the Diet. 3. Flight of the
Inhabitants of Moscow at the approach of the French army.

‘‘ This volume forms one of a series of histories for the use of young persons;
the present volume is, however, more descriptive than historical, which we

consider an advantage; the living manners of the Polesand Russians being —

much more instructive and entertaining to young English readers.”—Tait’s
Magazine.

‘“*Miss Corner has succeeded in compressing into a small compass all the
leading events of history, without the slightest obscurity, or without sinking
her book into a dry chronicle of facts.’’—Britannia.
