T'HE LADIES' HISTORY OF ENGLAND,
written expressly for the use of Young Ladies who are finish-

descriptions 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 &b Nal
By CHARLOTTE. 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 itv ingenious authoress
on a directly opposite principle; at the same time, that no interest-
ing fact of an historical kind is omitted. To detail the progress of
national improvements, and the advancement of society from a
state of barbarism to its present state of c;vilization, was her chief
object in its compilation.

THE object of this Institution is to encourage the
truly laudable design of Life Insurance, and Provision for
Old Age, by reducing those transactions to principles of the utmost
possible Public Benefit ; with this view an extensive Society of
Noblemen and Gentlemen have entered into a Subscription of
UO,OOOl. to institute an Original Capital • and taking upon
themselves the sole responsibility of the Estabillslunent, they en-
title the Persons insured and Annuitants to participate in Profits,
after the a of an eenisamical management are defrayed, in
which the President, Directors, Trustees, and Auditors act gra-
tuitously. Thus, by the specific sums insured, and the division
UI contingent profits, every Member has the fullest value possible
for his payments without being subject to calls upon any losses
whatever. This important and unprecedented advantage is pecu-
liar to the Provident Institution.
Military Men insured at this Office are not charged with any
additional Premium, unless called into actual Service.
No Admission Fees are required; nor is any charge made for
Policies.
A Pamphlet, fully explaining the principles and terms of this
Instivion, is published by Messrs. Cadell and Davies - and may
