MARTINEAU'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND.

Four Vols. Post 8vo., with full Index. Cloth, $10.00; half calf, $18.00.

This important work is based upon a History of the Thirty Years' Peace, 1815-1846, commenced by CHARLES KNIGHT, and completed by Miss HARRIET MARTINEAU. To the original work, Miss MARTINEAU has prefixed an Introduction, 1800-1815, with a valuable American Preface, and added an entire New Book; bringing the work down to the actual termination of the Peace by the Russian War. The present publication is, therefore, a COMPLETE HISTORY OF ENGLAND from 1800 to 1854. The work is printed from clear type, on laid and tinted paper, and substantially bound.

"We know of no living writer who can be placed above Miss MARTINEAU, and very few are the writers who can be called her equals; and we esteem it a fortunate circumstance that she was led to prepare this History of her country in her own time, and which is, to a considerable extent, a history of the world in its most interesting years." Boston Traveller.

"We must urge upon all Americans who desire to attain any enlightened knowledge of their own government, the necessity of an acquaintance with the later periods of English history, and earnestly recommend these volumes to their attention."- Boston Advertiser.

"This History is certainly a study for the American statesman, a text-book for the advocates of democratic institutions. Miss MARTINEAU possesses a masculine mind, and grapples strongly with the facts of English history, and makes them yield their meaning readily to our understanding."- Boston Post.
