Lingard.

A HISTORY OF ENGLAND,

From the first Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of William and Mary in 1688. By John Lingard, D. D. From the last revised London edition. In thirteen volumes; illustrated title pages, and portrait of the author. 12mo., muslin. Price, 75 cents per volume.

"This history has taken its place among the classics of the English language." -Lowell Courier.

"It is infinitely superior to Hume, and there is no comparison between it and Macaulay's romance. Whoever has not access to the original monuments will find Dr. Lingard's work the best one he can consult."- Brownson's Review.

Lingard's history has been long known as the best history of England ever written; but hitherto the price has been such as deprived all but the most wealthy readers of any chance of possessing it. Now, however, its publication has been commenced in a beautiful style, and at such a price that no student of history need fail of its acquisition." Albany Transcript.

tions. Price, in muslin, $2.25. Same work, in a 12mo. edition, muslin, 75 cents; sheep, 90 cents. A most graphic history of great events, by one of the principal actors therein. "The day will come when Lamartine, standing by the gate-post of the Hotel de Ville, and subduing by his eloquence the furious passions of the thousands upon thousands of delirious revolutionists, who sought they knew not what at the hands of the self-constituted Provisional Government of 1848, will be' commemorated in stone, on canvas, and in song, as the very impersonation of moral sub limity." - Meth. Quarterly Review.

"No fitting mete-wand hath To-day

For measuring spirits of thy stature, -
Only the Future can reach up to lay

The laurel on that lofty nature. ——

Bard, who with some diviner art

Hast touched the bard's true lyre, a nation's heart."

James Russell Lowell, To Lamartine.”
