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.
