BY RICHARD ‘SIThE1i2 2 
Author of ‘ Spelling Taught by Transcribing and Dictation ;” President 
of the North Bucks and West Beds Teachers’ Asssociation. 
Tue chief peculiarities of this Work are, its division into 
lessons of equal length, instead of the common mode of division 
into chapters, each Lesson treating of a distinct subject, and 
containing as much matter as can be read and remembered 
without undue labour on the part of teacher or pupil; and in 
the exclusion of those details of war and bloodshed, which too 
frequently occupy the attention of children on their first introduc- 
tion to History. An attempt has also been made to treat every 
historical event in such a manner as to cherish sentiments of 
charity and forbearance towards all good men, by refraining 
from the unchristian practice of exciting odium against whole 
bodies and sects of men, on account of the vices and enormities 
of particular individuals. 
Appended to the work are copious Genealogical, Chronological, 
and other tables, from which the teacher may collect facts and 
dates, wherewith to fill up the historical outline given in the 
body of the work, if, for the class of children under his tuition, 
they are found somewhat too meagre. With the exception of a 
few schools, however, who make History a very special subject, 
the author conceives that, in the present state of popular educa- 
tion, this little work will be found to contain about as much as 
can be really Jearnt in elementary schools, unless it be to the 
exclusion of other subjects equally, if not more, important.
