4 GRIGG & ELLIOT'S SCHOOL BOOKS. 



"The chain of narrative is skilfully preserved, and the author's reflec- 

 tions are frequently such as make the facts more impressive, and lead the 

 youthful mind to observe causes and consequences which might otherwise 

 have been overlooked. As a school book it may justly be recommended. 



"What has been said of this volume will apply generally to his other 

 historical works. They are each nearly of the same size as the one jus 

 noticed, and designed for the same object, that is, the use of classes in 

 schools. 



" The History of England is an original composition ; but the Grecian 

 and Roman Histories are Goldsmith's, improved by Mr. Grimshaw, in 

 which he has corrected the typographical errors, with which the later edi- 

 tions of Goldsmith's Abridgments so much abound; and removed any 

 grossness in language, which, in some few instances, render these valua- 

 ble compends less useful in the schools to which youth of both sexes resort. 

 He has also added a Vocabulary of Proper Names, accentuated, in order 

 to show their right pronunciation, which is a valuable appendage to the 

 History. 



"All these books are accompanied with very full and well-digested 

 Tables of Questions, for the benefit of Pupils, and also with Keys to the 

 same, for the convenience of Teachers." 



[Teachers generally, who have examined Mr. Grimshaw's Histories of 

 the United States and England, and Improved Editions of Goldsmith's 

 Greece and Rome, have given them a decided preference to any other 

 Histories in use as School Books and any person who will examine them, 

 will find about one thousand errors in each corrected; and teachers order- 

 ing those works will do well to say " Grimshaw's Improved Editions."]
