A NEW HISTOEY OP THE ANGLO- 

 SAXONS. 



By SIR FRANCIS PALGRAVE. With Illustrative Woodcuts. 



This work (as the preface mentions) was intended in 

 imitation of the Tales of my Grandfather. lt Let me hope," 

 the author says, " that occasionally, whilst the younger 

 branches find amusement in the tales and adventures here 

 brought together, some of the older folks may not be un- 

 willing to take this little summary in hand, as a temporary 

 substitute for the unmanageable folios produced by the 

 unwearied industry of Saville, Twysden, and Warton, and 

 Wilkins." 



THE EEFOEMATION IN ENGLAND. 



By the KEY. J. J. BLUNT. 



This is a compact but lively and entertaining sketch of the 

 Reformation, and the personal history of the founders of our 

 National Church. 



The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in 

 our history, whether in relation to politics or religion ; for 

 its influence was most powerful upon both. The reading, 

 profession, and taste of the author have led him to regard it 

 chiefly in the latter light; and, therefore, brief as the sketch 

 is, it will not be found of the nature of an abridgment, but 

 a continuous though succinct account of the rise, progress, 

 and consummation of that great revolution of the Church of 

 England.
