Much light has been thrown during the last half century on the modern history of Europe; yet Dr. Russell's work upon the subject, although quite antiquated and frequently deficient in correctness, remains the only one to which the English reader can have recourse. The present work, founded on the best and most recent historical publications, both English and foreign, has been undertaken in order to supply an obvious want.

A HISTORY of ENGLAND for the Upper Classes in Schools, based upon Hume's Work, incorporating the Researches of recent Historians, and continued down to the present time. With Illustrations. Post 8vo.

Uniform with "The Student's Gibbon," "LIDDELL'S History of Rome," and "SMITH'S History of Greece."

"This work is designed to supply a long acknowledged want in our School Literaturo,-a History of England for Students, in a volume of moderate size, containing the results of the researches of the best modern historians, and free from sectarian and party prejudice. HUME'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND' has been chosen as the basis of the present work, on account of the excellence of his narrative, and the clearness of his style. Gibbon tells us, that the careless inimitable beauties of Hume often forced him to close the volume with a mixed sensation of delight and despair;' and it seemed worse than useless in a work like the present, to dispense with the assistance of so great a master in composition, and to repeat in other words a narrative that had been already so well told. But HUME has not always been followed as an authority, although he is more trustworty than most modern critics allow; still his language has been adopted as far as possible in the narration of events, while his facts and conclusions have been carefully sifted, especially in the History of the Constitution, and of political parties; and much new and important information has been added both from recent works and original documents.”— Extract from Preface.
