"_Its object is to show that clear, accurate, and scientific views

easy to teach children, from the very first, to distinguish true
history alike from legend and from wilful invention, and also to
understand the nature of historical authorities, and to weigh one
statement against another.... I have throughout striven to connect the
history of England with the general history of civilized Europe, and I
have especially tried to make the book serve as an incentive to a more
accurate study of historical geography._"--PREFACE.

full account of the Homeric men and the Homeric religion. It starts,
after the introductory chapter, with a discussion of the several races
then existing in Hellas, including the influence of the Phœnicians
and Egyptians. It contains chapters on the Olympian system, with its
several deities; on the Ethics and the Polity of the Heroic age; on
the geography of Homer; on the characters of the Poems; presenting,
in fine, a view of primitive life and primitive society as found in
the poems of Homer. To this New Edition various additions have been
made._
"GLOBE" ATLAS OF EUROPE. Uniform in size with Macmillan's Globe Series,

_This Atlas includes all the countries of Europe in a series of
48 Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to the
situation of more than ten thousand places, and the relation of the
various maps and countries to each other is defined in a general
Key-map. All the maps being on a uniform scale facilitates the
comparison of extent and distance, and conveys a just impression of
the relative magnitude of different countries. The size suffices
to show the provincial divisions, the railways and main roads, the
principal rivers and mountain ranges. "This atlas," writes the_
British Quarterly, _"will be an invaluable boon for the school, the
desk, or the traveller's portmanteau."_

HISTORICAL SELECTIONS. Readings from the best Authorities on English
and European History. Selected and arranged by E.M. SEWELL and
C.M. YONGE. Crown 8vo. 6_s._
_When young children have acquired the outlines of history from
abridgements and catechisms, and it becomes desirable to give a more
enlarged view of the subject, in order to render it really useful and
interesting, a difficulty often arises as to the choice of books.
Two courses are open, either to take a general and consequently dry
history of facts, such as Russell's Modern Europe, or to choose some
work treating of a particular period or subject, such as the works
of Macaulay and Froude. The former course usually renders history
uninteresting; the latter is unsatisfactory, because it is not
sufficiently comprehensive. To remedy this difficulty, selections,
continuous and chronological, have in the present volume been taken
from the larger works of Freeman, Milman, Palgrave, and others, which
may serve as distinct landmarks of historical reading. "We know of
scarcely anything," says the_ Guardian, _of this volume, "which
is so likely to raise to a higher level the average standard of
English education."_

"_Several accounts of the British Expedition have been published....
They have, however, been written by those who have not had access to

of an enterprise which has rarely been equalled in the annals of
war._"--PREFACE.

18_s._
"_We have before us a trusty and ready guide to the events of
the past thirty years, available equally for the statesman, the
politician, the public writer, and the general reader. If Mr. Irving's
object has been to bring before the reader all the most noteworthy
occurrences which have happened since the beginning of Her Majesty's
reign, he may justly claim the credit of having done so most briefly,
succinctly, and simply, and in such a manner, too, as to furnish him
with the details necessary in each case to comprehend the event of
which he is in search in an intelligent manner. Reflection will serve
to show the great value of such a work as this to the journalist
and statesman, and indeed to every one who feels an interest in the
progress of the age; and we may add that its value is considerably
increased by the addition of that most important of all appendices, an
accurate and instructive index._"--TIMES.

_Since the time of Lord Burleigh no one, except the second Pitt,
ever enjoyed so long a tenure of power; with the same exception, no

the very last minister who has been able fully to carry out his own
political views; who has been so strong that in matters of general
policy the Opposition could extort no concessions from him which were
not sanctioned by his own deliberate judgment. The present work is
founded almost entirely on the correspondence left behind him by Lord

and impressions of English notabilities which, as the views and
impressions of an Englishman on his return to his native country after

with advantage by the classical student."_

"_The Russo-Indian, or Central Asian question has for several
obvious reasons been attracting much public attention in England, in

its collateral phases, might perhaps be acceptable to those who take
an interest in it._"--AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

has enabled him to make some additions._
