OPINIONS OF THE PRESS—Continued.

‘* Told in such a pleasant and in-
teresting fashion, that the young can-
not fail to receive instruction without
almost being aware of it. ‘There are
many well executed engravings which
will catch young eyes, and admirably
assist the understanding of the text.
A beautifully coloured frontispiece,
‘After the Battle of Crecy,’ from a
water-colour drawing by Mr. H. 8.
Marks, A.R.A., executed in the style
for which this firm is now famous,
will considerably enhance the volume
in the eyes of those for whom it is
intended—if they will not almost
prize it for this illustration and the
title-page alone. ‘The latter is quite
a marvel of workmanship.”—Cév¢l
Service Gazette.

“The narrative is exceedingly sim-
ple, and is quite within juvenile com-
prehension.” —£ cho.

‘Tt is, as its title indicates, a book
for the very young, simple in lan-
guage, and otherwise written to the
comprehension of those for whom it
is intended. Why should we not
have a History of Ireland of this
class?” —-Belfast Morning News.

 

‘*Miss VYonge's abilities are un-
questionable, her power of narrative
exceptional. The volume is
creditable to the publishers, as all
their publications are, and the illus-
trations are numerous and sometimes
forcible.” —Alanchester Guardian,

‘“This work is well written for
children, being in a simple easy style.
Its facts are, so far as we have ex-
amined them, perfectly correct, and
in this respect it compares favourably
with many nursery histories. It is
well illustrated, and very handsomely
bound.” —/rish Times.

“ Written in a manner at once so
simple and attractive that it cannot,
we believe, fail to call forth the live-
liest attention of the most youthful
listener.” — Belfast News-Letter.

“A book intended for very little
children. It deals in a simple narra-
tive style with many leading facts,
and is, on the whole, fairly written.
The stories range from the invasion
of Julius Caesar down to our own day,
everything being given in due chro-
nological order.” — Lloyds’ Weekly
London News.
