The Publication will commence on the 3rd of April, and be continued
regularly until the Work is completed.
In accordance with the universal desire of obtaining the best books at the
cheapest possible price, the Historical Works of HUME, SMOLLETT, and
HUGHES, are now submitted to the public: it being the object of the
Publisher to place within the reach of all classes of readers, in a
succession of weekly parts and monthly volumes, a more complete HISTORY OF
ENGLAND than any extant.
The eventful period in the annals of Britain which has elapsed since the
age of Smollett, whose volumes close with the reign of George the Second,
demands a faithful and impartial record; and this portion of our National
History, continued by the REV. T. S. HUGHES, late Christian Advocate at
Cambridge, will be printed from the corrected text of the third octavo
edition, which was almost entirely rewritten.
The additional volumes, containing a narrative of important events,
commence with the accession of George the Third, and will be continued to
the accession of Queen Victoria.
The Work will be completed in eighteen volumes, and embellished with
numerous Engravings on Steel, entirely re-engraved for this Edition,
comprising a selection of historical illustrations from Bowyer's History of
England, and from paintings by the most eminent masters, with portraits of
all the sovereigns from the Norman Conquest, according to the costume of
the different ages, and authentic facsimiles of their autographs.
London: GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.
