Interesting Books for Youth. 



Upon the importance and utility of historical knowledge, it 

 would be trivial to insist. It is by history alone that we know what 

 have been the great events of preceding generations. There are few 

 students, however, who have either the leisure, or the means, to con- 

 sult the voluminous works which have appeared in this branch of 

 literature. Hence the value of such a collection as the present, 

 which combines in one general series an authentic history of every 

 civilized country, both ancient and modern. To the youthful 

 reader, in particular, it must prove eminently acceptable.

9. THE PUBLIC and DOMESTIC LIFE of his late Most 

 Gracious Majesty, GEORGE the THIRD ; comprising the most 

 eventful and important Period in the whole Annals of British 

 History: compiled from authentic Sources, and interspersed with 

 numerous interesting Anecdotes. By EDWARD HOLT, Esq. 



f 4-1* The period between the accession and demise of George 

 the Third is justly considered the most important in the Annals of 

 British History. Within this period, the Wars, the Treaties and 

 the Triumphs of ENGLAND, have influenced nearly the whole of the 

 habitable globe. This WORK presents a !><cid narrative of these 

 political events ; it traces their origin, their progress, and their 

 termination ; and, at the same time, so diversifies historical details, 

 by portraying the amiable personal feature of the departed 

 MONARCH, with the addition of numerous interesting Anecdotes, 

 as to render it what it professes to be, A COMPLETE VIEW OF THE 

 PUBLIC and DOMESTIC LIFE of GEORGE THE THIRD. 



* % * By a very large page and close printing, this Work con- 

 tains as much matter as is usually found in Four Volumes of a 

 similar size. It includes among other numerous interesting articles, 

 a complete Account of the CORONATION CEREMONIES, illustrated 

 with Plates, representing the REGALIA, the CHAMPION performing 

 the Challenge, &c.
