AN ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF ENGLAND.

By Thomas Keightley, Esq., author of "A History of England," "Greece," "Rome,” "Outlines of History," etc. etc.. 12mo. bound and lettered, 5s.

This book has been compiled in consequence of numerous complaints of the ordinary School Histories, addressed to the author by several persons of both sexes engaged in the task of education. They state that the abridgments are, almost without exception, so dry and uninteresting, as to be utterly distasteful to children; that they contain matter far beyond their comprehension, and are in some cases too long to be used with advantage. In the present Elementary History it is the object of the author to avoid all these faults. The work is brought within the most moderate compass, and nothing is introduced into it that is not likely to prove both intelligible and interesting to children under the age of ten or eleven years, for whose use it is designed.

This work is also published in Parts, 6s. each, of which four are now published. It has often been regretted that the proceedings of the House of Commons, during the thirteenth Parliament of Great Britain, which met in May, 1768, and was dissolved in June, 1771, should, in consequence of the strict enforcement of the standing order for the exclu sion of strangers from the gallery of the House, have remained nearly a blank in the his ory of the country. The debates of this period, were, however, fortunately taken down by a member of the House, Mr. Henry Cavendish, and the editor having discovered his MSS., and obtained permission to print them, they are now given to the world. The col lection contains upwards of two hundred speeches by Burke, which have never seen the light; together with a number of the most valuable speeches of Mr. George Grenville, Lord North, Mr. Dunning, Mr. Thurlow, Mr. Wedderburn, Mr. Fox, Colonel Barre, Mr., afterwards Chief Justice, Blackstone, etc. etc. It embraces the whole of the stirring period of the publication of the Letters of Junius, and exhibits the feeling which prevailed in the House and in the country, previous to the unhappy contest which took place between Great Britain and her American Colonies.
