" The work is, we believe, completely established in
public favour, and we know of none that better deserves
it. This is no slight advantage to the editor of a work,
calculated and intended to find its way into the family
cirele,—to stimulate youth, by placing before them the
' worthies' of their own country, and to form true p.a.
triot., by describing to then, the great and the good of
their own highly-favoure I land."—New Monthly Mag.
" This singularly cheap and very beautiful work pro-
ceeds with even increased spirit."—Athenteum.

the work, arc request,d to apply, free of expense.
