Continuing the History from its Colonization, and completing a period in the History of the American Revolution. This cheap edition of Mr. Bancroft's standard Work is now complete as far as he has written it, and contains the history of the American Revolution considered in all its causes--the rise of the Union of the United States from the body of the people--the change in the colonial policy of France--and the consequences of the endeavours of Great Britain to consolidate her power over America. In 3 vols. post 8vo, price =15=s. cloth lettered. MICHAUD'S HISTORY OF THE CRUSADES, The First English Edition translated from the French; with Notes. Memoir and Preface by W. ROBSON. "Michaud is faithful, accurate, and learned: his mind is lofty and generous, and exactly suitable to the proper filling up of a history of the Crusades."--ALISON. (_Blackwood's Magazine._) "Mr. Robson has done a great service in making Michaud's admirable work accessible to the general reader."--_The Spectator._ In 1 vol. 8vo, price =14=s. cloth lettered. THE BRITISH EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. By W. H. RUSSELL, _The Times'_ "Special Correspondent." Being a Revised Edition of "The War," with additions and corrections. Illustrated with Plans of the Battles, Woodcuts, and Steel Portrait of Author. "It is not surprising if I avail myself of my brief leisure to revise, for the first time, and re-write portions of my work, which relate to the most critical actions of the war. From the day the Guards landed at Malta, down to the fall of Sebastopol, and the virtual conclusion of the war, I have had but one short interval of repose. My sincere desire has been, and is, to tell the truth, as far as I know it, respecting all I have witnessed. Many incidents in the war, from various hands (many of them now cold for ever), I have availed myself of; but the matter of the work is chiefly composed of the facts and materials accumulated in my letters." In post 8vo, price =5=s. cloth gilt. A HISTORY OF BRITISH INDIA, from the Earliest Period of English Intercourse to the Present Time. By CHARLES MACFARLANE. With Additions to the year 1858. Illustrated with numerous Engravings. "This admirable aid to the study of British India we particularly recommend, as one of the best epitomes that our literature possesses."
