NOTICE.

THE present History has been drawn up by Mr. Philip Smith,
under the superintendence and direction of Dr. William Smith,
with whose smaller Histories of Greece and Rome it is intended

to range.

The most recent authorities have been consulted, and it is
confidently believed that the Work will be found to present a
careful and trustworthy account of English History for the lower
forms in schools, for whose use it is chiefly intended.

The Table of Contents gives a full analysis of the Work,
and has been so arranged that the Teacher can frame from it
questions for the examination of his class, the answers to which
will be found in the corresponding pages of the volume.
