 useful and entertaining information illustrative of the man- 

 ners, customs, and costume of the era connected with the 

 events of every story ; to which is also added, an Historical 

 Summary, which the Author recommends to the attention of 

 the juvenile reader, as containing many interesting particulars 

 not generally to be met witli in abridged liistories.
