OUTLINES OF ENGLISH HISTORY,
WITH INTERESTING
Remarks on Manners, Customs, Arts, Dresses, &c.
BY HENRY INCE, M.A.
----
*** In consequence of the rapidly extended sale and approval of this Work,
every page of the present Edition has been carefully enlarged and much
improved. By a judicious enlargement of the width and length of the page,
one-third more letter-press is introduced without any increase of price.
----
"In the system of Education sufficient regard is not always paid to
impressing on the pupil's mind the leading points in a branch of study.
His memory is confused with a too great variety of details. This manual
of Mr. Ince's is well calculated to counteract this defective method, by
affording a well-digested outline, which should be carefully committed to
memory, and afterwards filled up by means of oral instruction or
reference to larger works. Lively chapters of historical memoranda, and
brief sketches of manners and customs, are appropriately introduced. We
can cordially recommend this well-digested manual."--_Sharpe's Magazine._
"A neat and accurate compendium, and written with perspicuity. The events
of each reign are arranged under different heads, so as to give at a
glance a comprehensive view of the whole."--_Athenæum._
"A new edition, with improvements. It is a little 'Rapin' in its way, a
history condensed into a nutshell; and we feel assured will, with its
companion works, form the future text-books of the young of both sexes.
Works intended for the mental culture of the young are sure to meet our
approval when properly deserving it; and in the present instance we feel
inclined to extend the usual limit of our remarks in favour of the lucid
and well-arranged books which Mr. Ince has issued for the rising
generation. We could not forbear a smile, on glancing over their
contents, at the recollection of the sundry fat quartos and huge folios
through which in boyhood we were obliged to wade for the acquirement of a
less amount of information than is here presented within the space of one
hundred pages."--_The Mirror._
"Well-digested and useful outlines of our History, and deserves to be a
standard educational work."--_Eclectic Review._
"Superior to anything of the kind; here is a clear and comprehensive
outline of the whole History of England. We cordially recommend
it."--_Wesley Banner._
"The leading points are clearly traced, and adapted for easy transmission
to the mind."--_Mark-lane Express._
"A valuable addition to those books specially designed for
education."--_Bell's Messenger._
"These 'Outlines' are particularly well done."--_Bankers Magazine._
"A good compendium; it contains the essence of very many volumes, serving
not only as helps for the education of youth, but as refreshers to the
memory to those who are old."--_Sunday School Magazine._
"This book is not undeserving of the popularity it has obtained: it is
full of information, and contains the substance of more knowledge of the
social progress, manners, and customs of our ancestors than many works of
far larger pretensions."--_The third review of the Athenæum._
"A great deal of information in a small compass, and the author has
availed himself of the latest authorities. We prefer the form of Outlines
to Catechisms. It contributes to the formation of more logical views,
both by the teacher and scholar. Catechisms are the school-books of
parrots."--_Spectator._
"Both the plan and style are perspicuous; it is admirably adapted for
what it is intended."--_The Times._
"Contains a vast amount of interesting and useful knowledge, and
admirably adapted as helps to parents and teachers of youth."--_Tait's
Magazine._
"A well-digested little book."--_Literary Gazette._
"A very useful book for the instruction of youth, being a complete
_resumé_ of the whole History of England."--_Metropolitan._
"Well adapted for the education of the young."--_New Monthly Magazine._
"The brief statements of the principal events of each Sovereign's reign
are neat and succinct."--_The Economist._
"An improved edition of Mr. Ince's very useful book."--_The Rambler._
"Ince's 'Outlines' is a very excellent book to put into the learner's
hands: it is clear and well-arranged."--_Author's Institute Circular._

THE SIXTH EDITION OF
OUTLINES OF FRENCH HISTORY,
WITH NOTICES OF

BY HENRY INCE, M.A.
"It affords a very pleasing view of the whole History of France. The
author being gifted with a philosophical mind and a classical taste, the
subjects, though treated in a detached, are far from being treated in a
dry and unentertaining manner."--_The Times._
"It is embellished with some capital engravings, and abounds in the
narration of those romantic events which form the groundwork of so many
delightful works."--_The Mirror._
"Mr. Ince is not of those men who speak much without saying anything; he
says much in a few words."--_French Paper._
"A very useful educational work."--_Literary Gazette._

OUTLINES
OF
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
By Henry Ince, M.A.
----
*** This Edition has been very much extended and improved; by an
enlargement of the size of the page, and careful arrangement of the type, a
very great quantity of highly valuable information has been added.
----
"The 'Outlines of General Knowledge' embrace a great variety of facts
connected with the natural sciences. Even the names of all the divisions
into which the moderns have classified knowledge fill no inconsiderable
space. Add to them the names and height of mountains, and names and
length of rivers, the names of constellations, the names of the chemical
elements, the amount of population of the different kingdoms of the
world, the amount of their respective taxation per head, &c. &c., and the
mere nomenclature seems calculated to fill a tolerably large book. All
this, and more than this, is collected in Mr. Ince's 'Outlines,' and
those not accustomed to the art of the author will wonder how one small
head could carry all he has brought together."--_The Economist._
"Well-digested 'Outlines,' which should be committed to everybody's
memory."--_Sharpe's Magazine._
"A capital book, deserving especial attention."--_Family Friend._
"Contains for its size a remarkable quantity of interesting and
well-arranged information. It would make a valuable present to Sunday
Schools and lending libraries."--_Athenæum._
"A vast amount of condensed information."--_The Rambler._
"Contains a considerable amount of information of a very valuable kind,
on a variety of subjects, that in ordinary routine of education are too
much overlooked, an acquaintance with which is every day becoming more
and more indispensable. They are germs which cannot fail to vegetate in
the mind, to fructify in the head, and eventually to produce a fourfold
reward to him who labours in the acquisition of them."--_Sunday School
Magazine._
"Calculated to instruct anyone of common intelligence on every known
topic of importance, and to start him with a mind stored with the
accumulated learning of 6000 years."--_The Mirror._
"A valuable little publication, full of information in a small compass,
creating an appetite for deeper investigation."--_Bell's Life._

A NEW SERIES OF PENNY MAPS.

_Now publishing in Monthly Parts, price only 4½d., or 8½d. coloured (each
Part to contain four Maps)_,
PHILIPS'
PENNY ATLAS OF THE WORLD,
IN A
Series of fifty-two Imperial Quarto Maps, Engraved on Steel,
INCLUDING
FIVE ANCIENT MAPS, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS IN ANCIENT HISTORY,
WITH A COPIOUS CONSULTING INDEX OF PLACES.
----
Geographical Knowledge was to a considerable extent an essential necessity
even in the early periods of our world, cultivated indeed at first for
almost purely social purposes, yet in the same proportion as our
progenitors increased in numbers, so also did their extended range of
observation instil into their minds the necessity of more practical
observations on the relative bearings of the districts through which they
passed, noting at the same time the numerous changes of hill and dale,
rivulet and stream, and the countless varieties of the wonderful products
with which it pleased Almighty God to bless its various regions. Hence
progressively arose the Topographical and Geographical Delineations with
which the Scriptures abound; to a similar cause may also be traced the
contributions which the savage tribes have at various periods of our
World's History added to the branches of Geographical science.
Now, in the same proportion as any people forming a Nation develope their
commercial and intellectual strength, in the same ratio has it pleased
Providence to render it necessary that its inhabitants should not only
become acquainted with the Topographical and Geographical features,
relative distances and bearings, of their own and neighbouring nations, but
of every portion of the known world, even extending their researches to
unknown regions. Indeed, no member of a commercial nation, especially in
one where education is much diffused, is qualified to act his part aright
as one of its people, unless he is able to form a tolerably accurate notion
of the names of Nations, Places, Seas, Rivers, Mountains, &c., their
relative position and extent, as well as to learn how richly the Creator of
the Earth has endowed them all with the means of ministering to those
comforts and pleasures of which man in every state of society and climate
so much stands in need.
These reflections might be much extended, but the limits of a prospectus
will not permit it. Suffice it to say that every Englishman, be he rich or
poor, should have access to modern Maps of the various portions of the
World, in order to possess the means of cultivating a knowledge of its
divisions, the names of the chief Nations, Places, &c. &c., as well as to
be able to form intellectual and commercial ideas of its numerous products,
and the respective regions from whence come the countless varieties of
foreign substances now in use among us as articles of ornament or
necessity.
Now, though a Modern Atlas of the World is so essential to every family in
this kingdom, still it has been almost limited in its possession, on
account of the high price at which all really good and practical works have
hitherto been issued. To remove this difficulty has been the principal
motive which has induced the Proprietors of "PHILIPS' PENNY MODERN ATLAS"
to issue a work which they feel satisfied will be universally admitted to
be surprisingly cheap, and not surpassed in usefulness by any attempt
hitherto made to extend the knowledge of Geography.

GILBERT'S COPIOUS SERIES OF PAMPHLETS
ON THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION;
CONTAINING
Important Documents of Permanent Historical Interest having reference to
the re-Establishment of the
CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND,
1850-1.
The Editor of these Pamphlets deems it almost superfluous to dwell on the
paramount importance of every respectable family possessing this volume of
very special present and permanent interest. During the discussion of the
exciting matters now at issue in this all-absorbing question, there can be
no questioning the well-recognised fact that the possession of this copious
and cheap volume is essential to every thoughtful and inquiring person in
our beloved country. For those who are as yet unaware of the immense mass
of interesting and important documents that are in its pages, AN INDEX OF
ITS CONTENTS IS ISSUED FOR GRATUITOUS DISTRIBUTION--this will abundantly
testify to the fact; and the Editor, thinks it only necessary to state
that, with scarcely an exception, the whole of the documents are printed,
verbatim, as they originally appeared, and in very numerous cases they have
had the additional advantage of the direct and special revision of the
authors.
The Editor expresses his conviction that all the important facts and
documents relative to the "Roman Catholic Question" have appeared in the
pages of these pamphlets. Doubtless, during the progress of the
Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill through the Houses of Parliament
speeches of interest will be made; still the Editor thinks they will be
merely elaborations of the materials already in these pages, devoid of
original facts or documents.
*** Any persons who may wish to possess the Series or sheet containing
specific articles particularised in the Index, will be at liberty to
purchase it separately, at One Penny or Three-halfpence each sheet
respectively, or at Twopence each extra post-free, through the publisher.
Series 1 to 17 sell at 1d., and 18 to 25 at 1½d. each; but it must be
observed that each sheet or Series contains several documents.
