T ANDMARKS OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND, 

 JJ By the Rev. JAMES WHITE. (The Twenty-second Thousand.) 



" "We hold this to be a pattern volume of cheap literature. It is so written that it 

 cannot fail to amuse and enlighten the more ignorant; yet it is a book that may be 

 read with pleasure and profit, too, by the most polished scholar. In a word, excel- 

 lent gifts are applied to the advantage of the people a poetical instinct and a full 

 knowledge of English History. It has nothing about it of common-place compilation. 

 It is the work of a man of remarkable ability, having as such a style of its own, and 

 a grace that cannot fail to exercise its renning influence upon uneducated people. 

 The amount of solid information it compresses in a small compass excites in the 

 reader's mind repeated surprise." The Examiner.
