MANGNALL'S QUESTIONS.

18mo. Roan.

In this Edition, each Question and Answer forms a separate paragraph. The questions are numbered and printed in a distinct type, which will prove a useful aid to all who are engaged in tuition.

The information likewise has been brought down to the present time, and is CONDENSED WITHOUT BEING ABRIDGED, by the erasure of those superfluous and unmeaning expressions of tautology which disfigured the earlier editions.

The Biographical portion includes the DUKE of WELLINGTON, SIR ROBERT PEEL, LORD RAGLAN, and other distinguished characters who have died since the accession of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

[blocks in formation]

"This popular school-book is here presented in a condensed rather than an abridged form, and with many marked improvements, at the low price of 1s. it will no doubt come into general use."-KENT HERALD.

"Published in a compact form, neatly bound, and being condensed without being abridged, comes before us in a greatly improved form. Few books contain so much information in so small a space."

666

PORTSMOUTH GUARDIAN. "Mangnall's Questions,' arranged as they are here, form one of the most useful school-books we have seen." SHERBORNE JOURNAL.

"A very good edition."--CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE. "To those engaged in tuition, and to many others, the work will be found highly useful."-WINDSOR EXPRESS. "To praise this work is superfluous, since its merits are so widely known. The present edition is well got up in every respect."-SHREWSBURY JOURNAL.

"This is not the big 'Mangnall' of our school days. It is a condensed edition, but one that contains a vast deal of useful information. On looking through it we felt great surprise at the mass of miscellaneous items crowded within the scanty compass of so small a book."

HASTINGS NEWS.

"The edition now before us is the best we have seen. An admirably arranged little book, which ought to be extensively used in all schools."

CHELTENHAM CHRONICLE. "This is a cheap and improved edition of a valuable manual, for which we predict a decided preference over many other rudimental educational works of this class. An exceedingly welcome companion to all entrusted with the office of tutor."-TAUNTON COURIER.

"A new and very neat edition of this popular schoolbook."-NOTTINGHAM JOURNAL.

"Mangnall's Questions' are amongst the most familiar and well-worn steps to knowledge. The edition issued by Mr. Hardwicke shows a reduction in bulk, but has been augmented in comprehensiveness."

BRIGHTON EXAMINER. "Published at a trifling cost, and constitutes a really valuable book for the young."-PLYMOUTH JOURNAL. "A compact and cheap edition of a work of well-known fame amongst English teachers."-BRISTOL MERCURY.

"Mangnall's Questions' have long since taken their place in the middle-class schools of the country, and the only ground on which they can ever be ejected is, that the lapse of time renders them defective or obsolete. Continued and careful editorship is therefore necessary; and this editorship the present edition has received."

SUNDERLAND TIMES. "This is an old friend with a new face; or, in other words, it is a well-known and highly esteemed educational hand-book in which many alterations and improvements have been made. The main features of the present edition are the arrangement of the questions and answers in the same paragraph, and the carrying down of the information to the present time."-CHELTENHAM JOURNAL.

"Mr. Hardwicke has produced a very neat edition of the popular school-book, Mangnall's Questions.' It is a great improvement upon the old editions, which always annoyed us by the confused appearance the pages presented from the questions and answers being run on without any distinction or division to inculcate a little order in the mind of the pupil."

NORTH WALES CHRONICLE. "It merits our decided approval. It is a pocket-edition, condensed without being abridged. It is well bound, well-adapted for the wear and tear of schools, and is a valuable book to refresh the memory." BRADFORD OBSERVER. "This is a new and improved edition of an excellent school-book in general use throughout the country. embraces a tolerably wide area in a small compass; but the questions are carefully selected, and the answers remarkably simple and comprehensive."-WELSHMAN. "Strongly bound, legibly printed, and published at a moderate price."-WESTERN TIMES.

"We are pleased to welcome an improved edition of an old acquaintance."-DURHAM CHRONICLE.
