“A condensed mass of knowledge, well put together, and prettily illustrated.”—­Church and State Gazette.

“To a pleasing, fluent, narrative style, Miss corner unites a nice discrimination, and never suffers matters which sully the mind to appear in her pages.”—­Surplice.

“We cannot too strongly recommend these admirable Histories, and we feel satisfied that no parent or preceptor can place better works in the hands of a youth.”—­Academic and Collegiate Circular.

“Altogether we do not know of a more agreeable or instructive present for youth; and each history is illustrated with a map and engravings, which considering the price of the work, are of a superior description.”—­Times.

“The authoress shows much discrimination in conveying in language suited to her readers the results of the laborious investigations of other scholars.”—­Educational Times.

AN ACCURATE HISTORY OF GREECE.

From accepted Authorities, English and Foreign; as Grote’s and Chambers’s Histories of Greece, Smith’s Greek and Roman Antiquities, Thirlwall and Wordsworth’s Greece, Smith’s Mythology and Biography, Annals of Commerce, Library of Useful Knowledge, &c.  With Questions to each Chapter, a Chronological Table, Index, and a coloured Map of the Greek States.  Price 3_s_. bound in cloth, lettered.

We have not met with any History of Greece that contains, within the same compass, so large an amount of interesting and valuable information.  Miss Corner writes concisely, perspicuously, and sensibly.—­Westley Banner.

A concise History of Greece, well adapted for Schools.—­Cambridge Independent Press.

This is a very excellent compendium of Grecian History, and such are the merits of the Work that we shall not be surprised at its becoming a popular educational book.—­The British Mother’s Magazine.

Remarkably clear in its arrangement, while the simple and easy style in which it is written, peculiarly fits it for popular use, it displays much careful resourch on the part of its Author.—­Englishwoman’s Magazine.

Miss Corner has the art of writing so as to be understood by youthful readers.—­London Literary Journal.

By far the best introductory School History of Greece we have ever seen.—­The British Banner.

A combination of simplicity of narrative, with comprehensiveness of detail, admirably adapted for the use of the School-room.—­Douglas Jerrald’s Weekly News.

With feminine delicacy, Miss Corner omits what should be omitted, giving meanwhile a narrative of the broad character and features that mark the progress of a nation.—­Express, Evening Paper.

The results of the best modern scholarship are here given.—­Leader.

Miss Corner’s Histories require no recommendation of ours to bring them into notice.  This Volume, her History of Greece, is written with great clearness and fluency, the fabulous tales which disfigure so many professedly authentic histories of the Greeks are discarded.  We cordially recommend this work for the School-room, or family circle.—­Gospel Herald.
