%Mary Queen of Scots.%

This history is given here minute in every point of real interest, and
without the encumbrance of useless opinions. There is no sentence thrown
away--no time lost in mere ornament. Perhaps no book extant containing so
few pages, can said to convey so many genuine historical facts. There
is here no attempt to glaze over recorded truth, or win the reader by
sophistry to opinions merely those of the author. The pure, simple history
of Queen Mary is placed before the reader, and each one is left to form an
unbiased opinion from events impartially recorded there. One great and
most valuable feature in this little work is a map of Scotland, with many
engravings of the royal castles and wild scenes connected with Mary's
history. There is also a beautiful portrait of the Queen, and a richly
illuminated title-page such as only the Harpers can get up--_National
Magazine._

%Queen Elizabeth.%

Full of instructive and heart-stirring incident, displayed by the hand of
a master. We doubt whether old Queen Bess ever before had so much justice
done to her within the same compass. Such a pen as Jacob Abbott wields,
especially in this department of literature, has no right to lie
still--_Albany Express_.

%Charles the First.%

We incline to think that there never was before so much said about this
unfortunate monarch in so short a space; so much to the purpose; with so
much impartiality; and in such a style as just suits those for whom it is
designed--the "two millions" of young persons in the United States, who
ought to be supplied with such works as these. The engravings
represent the prominent persons and places of the history, and are well
executed. The portrait of John Hampden is charming. The antique title-page
is rich.--_Southern Christian Advocate._
