•• England holds her place armee the nations." The names of their
heroes and heroines arc familiar to young and old, their stories con-
stitute the household poetry of the people. At once possessing all

cause culled from its choicest leaves. Terre are few English hearts
that will not be roused st the recital of the achievements of Edward
the Black Prince, the romantic adventures and hair-breadth escapes
of Cour de Lion, the loves of Marian and Robin Hood among the
merry glades of Sherwood; and few. indeed, that will not be
affected by the wayward fate of fair Cliffintl, the story of the beauti-
ful but luckless Shore, and the piteous tale of Anne Boleyn.—.l
collection of the heroic, amatory. padietic, humorous, and other
interesting Tales of merry Old England, has lung been a deli.
dcratum. Some of them are only to be found in huge and expert.
sive volumes, incombered with dry political details—others have
been •to long burled among old records, as to have become mere
oral traditions—and the rest are scattered abroad in versions, verione
es they are incorrect. • In the present work they will be carefully
' collected and pruned of many linperfections, so that " The, Old
English Tales' may embody the's/hole romance of our History.

itself, so that the whole, or a selection, may be bound up together,

The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully submit the fol-
lowing Opinion of the land Chancellor of England, as delivered
by him in the Court of Chancery
Mr. W'etherell having applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant
an Injunctioa to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, pub-
lishing, and selling pirated Editions of Pinnock's Catechisms, the
originals of which he denominated " useful Compendiums of In-
struction for the Juvenile Classes of Society ;" has Lordship, on
comparing the Spurious Copies with the Genuine IVorks, granted
the Injunction ; and, after having attentively examined the latter,
was pleased to make the following important observation on them :
—4. It appears to me that Adults might be greatly benefited by the
instruction these Books contain, as well as the Younger Branches
of Society."
The Publisher respectfully. begs leave to observe, that, inde-
pendent of the high encomium above mentioned, " Pinnock's
Catechisms" have met with the general approbation of a most nu-
merous and respectable class of intelligent Teachers. They need
only to be seen to ensure their universal adoption ; the information
they contain in so small a compass being unparalleled, and the
style in which they are written, combining ease, conciseness, and
perspicuity.
Being led to look into these works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the informaticm they con-
tain, within so small a complies, and in so excellent a form ; and
we roust say, that more convenient, ac •urate, well-arranged, and
proper publications, were never submitted to general observation."
