HISTORY of ENGLAND. By Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, Vol. I. 



" Our anticipations of this volume were certainly very highly raised, and un- 

 like such anticipations in general, they have not been disappointed. A philo- 

 sophical spirit, a nervous style, and a full knowledge of the subject, acquired by 

 considerable research into the works of preceding chroniclers and historians, 

 eminently distinguish this popular abridgment, and cannot fail to recommend it 

 to universal approbation. In continuing his work as he has begun, Sir James 

 Mackintosh will confer a great benefit on his country." Land. Lit. Gazette.

 HISTORY of IRELAND. By THOMAS MOORE, 1 vol. 



II. HISTORY of SCOTLAND. By Sir WALTER 

 SCOTT, Bart, in 2 vols. 12mo. 



The History of Scotland, by Sir Walter Scott, we do not hesitate to declare, 

 will be, if possible, more extensively read, than the most popular work of fiction, 

 by the same prolific author, and for this obvious reason: it combines much of the 

 brilliant colouring 1 of the Ivanhoe pictures of by-gone manners, and all the 

 graceful facility of style and nicturesqueness of description of his other charm- 

 ing romances, with a minute fidelity to the facts of history, and a searching scru- 

 tiny into their authenticity and relative value, which might put to the blush Mi-. 

 Hume and other professed historians. Such is the magic charm of Sir Walter 

 Scott's pen, it has only to touch the simplest incident of every day life, and it 

 starts up invested with all the interest of a scene of romance; and yet such is his 

 fidelity to the text of nature, that the knights, and cerfs, and collared fools with 

 whom his inventive genius has peopled so many volumes, are regarded by us as 

 not mere creations of fancy, but as real flesh and blood existences, with all the 

 virtues, feelings and errors of common place humanity." Lit. Gaz.
