HISTORY OF OUR Owir: timEs.
•
This Day is published, in One Volume Octavo, Price 9s. in
boards,
MHE HISTORY of ENGLAND, from the
A PEACE of 1783 to the TREATi conchal's! at AMIENS
in 1802 ; Mein: 'a
CONTINUATWN of 4 COOTEN HIS-
TORY of Er44:truero, front the earliest Times to 178:3; by
the Author of the former Part.
London Printed for the Author, and sod by G. Kearsley,
No. 4G Fleet-street.
C,, • Without reicrriii to the favourable Testirhoniec given
of the History composed by this Writer, we shall merely ob.
serve, that he has, in the present. Volume, as well as in the
former Work, avoided the opposite .x..rtwees of brevity and
prolixity, and has treated the subject with accuracy, carAuur,
avid impartiality.
Aay of the Volumes of the History may be separately pur-
chased.

This Day is published, Volume IV. liandsomely printed in
Quarto on a fine .Paper, Price One Gilinea and a Half in
boards, of a new Work, entitled
GE NERAL BIOGRAPHY, or Lives of the most
V eminent Persons of all Ages, Countries, Conditions, and
Praf:ssiuns, arranged according to Alphabetical Order; com-
posed by
J. AJKIN, M. D Rev. THOMAS MORGAN, and Mr. W.
JOI IN STON.
It is the particular purpose of this Work, to Afford a more
characteristic and impartial estimate, moral and intellectual, of
the Subjects of Biographical Record, than has hitherto been
done in similar Publications; acid likewise to proportion more
justly the length and minuteness of the narrative to the rela-
tive consequence of the Individual eoniinemorated. By atten-
tion to these points, ills hoped that such a view has been given
of all the most conspicuous char.tflers in History and Litera-
ture, as may suffice for the iiistrucaiiiii and entertainment of
general traders, and preclude tholsocessity of consulting a ea•
riery of authors. For the use-of those who wish to make more
particular inquiries, and likewise for the purpose of authenti-
cating the matter or narration, references are sul.joined to every
single article, of the sources whence the information has been
derived
