The decided superiority of these excellent Juvenile Works over
all others has ensured to them a most extensive and universal sale,
which has enabl,d the Publishers to ornament the new Editions
with beautiful Portraits, engraved on hardened steel, by Heath and
Co. by which they trust they have in some measure augmented
their value without increasing the price.
" Being led to look into these Works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they con.
taro, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; and
we must say, that more convenient, accurate, •well-sreanged, and
proper Publications, were never submitted to general observation."
