'THE LADIES' HISTORY OF ENGLAND,
written expressly for the use of Young Ladies who are finish-

des:riptions which disfigure many other Histories of England,
treating particularly on the progress of manners and national im-
provements. In a series of Letters to a, Young Lady at School
By CHAIII.OI-TE SMITH.
It is well known, that Histories of England,in general, are filled
chiefly with narratives of battles, murders, and executions ; and are
consequently little adapted to the improvement of the rising gene-
ration. The present work was compiled by us ingenious authoress
on a directly opposite principle; at the same time, that na interest-
ing fact of an historical kind is omitted. To detail the progress of
national improvements, and the advAneement of society from a
state of barbarism to its present state of civilization, was her chief
object in its compilation.

fulness and importance of this new► Catheeltism, which begins with
teaching the Child to count Ten and name the Days in the Week,
and proceeds by easy steps to the definition and explanAtion of
all kinds of familiar and common objects. It bears in Liu, as to
the business of life, and the first principles of general knowledge,
exactly the same relation as the Church Catechism, and tasy Ca-
techisms of Dr. Watts, bear to the Principles of Religion and Mo-
rality.

be printed, and the adoption of each of them in the principal
schools throughout the empire, is a satisfactory testimony of their
superior merit and of their claim to universal preft rence.

It would be useless to specify to whom such a Work as the
above described would be useful, because it would be dificutt to
discover any Class of Persons to whom i• would not be indispen.
sable for daily and hourly reference.
To establish its peculiar Claims to Confidence and general Pre-
ference, over every other Work of the same kind, it is simply ne-
cessary to mention that the Author was the person employed by
Government in condensing and completing the Reports publiphed
by Parliament, of the Population and Cultivation of Great Bri-
tain, and likewise in arranging the Clerical Returns, and the cor-
rected Llrst sent from the different Clerks of the Peace. He has
consequently been able to render it an Authority on most of the
Topics on which he treats.
