for young people."--_Limerick Standard_. The beauty of composition throughout the writings of Miss Corner is singular and fascinating.--_Sun_. Miss Corner has acquired a deserved celebrity for the singularly-attractive and intelligible manner she has in narrating history.--_Critic_. THE HISTORY OF SCOTLAND; New edition; ninth thousand; 2_s_. 6_d_. cloth, lettered; or bound up with questions on the history, 3_s_. Illustrated with a map, and three historical engravings.--1. Coronation of the infant King David II. and his Queen, at Scone, 2. James V. taking refuge at Sterling Castle. 3. Queen Mary's escape to England. "We sincerely recommend this history as peculiarly suited to the meridian of schools."--_Ayr Observer._ "This meritorious work is written in a very easy and agreeeble style, perfectly adapted to the capacities of the young persons for whom it is intended."--_Times_. "We have perused this history with much interest, delighted with the ease and perspicuity of style, and with the clearness and force of the narrative."--_Chronicle_. "Peculiarly adapted for instructive family reading."--_Caledonian Mercury_. THE HISTORY OF ROME; From accepted English and foreign authorities, as Macpherson's Annals of Commerce, Keightley's Roman History, Smith's and Adam's Greek and Roman Antiquities; Dr. Arnold, Niebuhr, &c. With questions to each chapter, a chronological table, and a map of the Roman Empire; 3_s_. 6_d_. bound in cloth, lettered. "Miss Corner's History of Rome will assuredly ere long supersede all the Roman histories at present used in schools, it is well written, and the historical facts elicited by the learned labours of Niebuhr, Arnold, &c, are made to take the place of the fabulous accounts which have hitherto passed current as authentic history; at the same time the popular early legends are not omitted, but their doubtful nature pointed out."--_Westmister Review_. "An excellent feature in this history is the continual effort to open out to the young reader the household life and social customs of the Romans, for without this, ancient history can have no reality for children."--_Educational Times_. "Its contents form a correct history of the Roman empire, from its beginning."--_Church of England Journal_. THE HISTORIES OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL; New Edition, Fifth Thousand; 2_s_. 6_d_. cloth, lettered; or bound up with questions on the histories, 3_s_. Illustrated
