MURRAY'S STUDENT'S MANUALS. 
A Series of Class-books for Advanced Scholars, 
Forming a Complete Chain of History from the Earliest Ages down to Modern Times. 
Each Work is complete in One Volume, Post 8vo, price 7s. 6d. 
“This series of STUDENT'S MANUALS, ANCIENT and MODERN, edited for the most part by 
DR. WILLIAM SMITH, possess several distinctive features which render them singularly valuable 
as educational works. They incorporate, with judicious comments, the researches of the most 
recent historical investigators, not only into the more modern, but into the most remote periods 
of the history of the countries to which they refer. The latest lights which comparative philology 
has cast upon the migrations and interminglings of races are reflected in the histories of England 
and France. We know no better or more trustworthy summary, even for the general reader, of 
the early history of Britain and Gaul than is contained in these volumes respectively. 
“‘ While each volume is thus, for ordinary purposes, a complete history of the country to which 
it refers, it also contains a guide to such further and more detailed information as the advanced 
student may desire on particular events or periods by copious lists of the ‘ Authorities.” This 
most useful feature seems to us to complete the great value of the works, giving to them the 
character of historical cyclopxdias, as well as of impartial histories.”—The Museum. 
“‘ Before the publication of these Student’s Manuals there had been established, by the claims 
of middle-class and competitive examiners on young men’s brains, a large annual demand for 
text-books that should rise above the level of mere schoolboy’s epitomes, and give to those who 
would master them some shadow of a scholarly knowledge of their subjects. Such books were 
very hard to find. Mr. Murray now brings out his seven-and-sixpenny manuals. They are most 
fit for use in the higher classes of good schools, where they may be deliberately studied through 
with the help of a teacher competent to expand their range of argument, to diversify their views 
by the strength of his own reading and reflection, and to elicit thought from the boys themselves 
upon events and the political changes to which they have led. Even the mature scholar may be 
glad to have on his shelves these elegant manuals, from which he can ata glance refresh his 
memory as to a name or date, and he will not use them for reference alone. He will assuredly be 
tempted to read them for the clearness of statement and the just proportion with which there is 
traced in each of them the story of a nation.” —Ezaminer. 
SCRIPTURE HISTORY. 
THE STUDENT’S OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY. 
From the Creation of the World to the Return of the Jews from Captivity. With an Intro- 
een to the Books of the Old Testament. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With 50 Mapsand 
oodcuts. 
“Of our own land, as well as of Greece and Rome, we have histories of a scholar-like 
character ; but Old Testament history has not been so carefully or so fully treated before. 
It is not a little surprising that a subject of such universal importance and interest should 
have so long been disregarded. This volume is a very able and scholarly work. As a book 
ad Sunday reading, we feel assured it will be very welcome and widely serviceable.” — Wes- 
eyan Times. 
THE STUDENT’S NEW TESTAMENT HISTORY. 
With an Introduction, containing the connection of the Old and New Testaments. By 
PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With 40 Maps and Woodcuts. 
“‘This is another of those useful manuals of history which will no doubt obtain a wider 
circulation than the similar volumes on the History of Greece or Rome, as the subject- 
matter is of wider interest ; at the same time, it will be more closely scrutinized. We are 
glad to say that it will endure this scrutiny, and will satisfy the more it is examined, Its 
tone is eminently reverential.” —Churchman. 
ANCIENT HISTORY. 
THE STUDENT’S ANCIENT HISTORY of the EAST. 
From the Earliest Times to the Conquests of Alexander the Great, including Egypt, Assyria, 
een pg Media, Persia, Asia Minor, and Phenicia. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With 70 
oodcuts, 
“«¢ Ancient History’ used to mean Greece and Rome and ‘sacred history’ only. These are 
all separately provided for in this Student’s Series, and there still remains matter enough in 
the domain of ancient history to fill this closely printed and tersely written volume. Our 
admiration of the mode in which a difficult task, involving great research, has been per- 
formed is cordial, aud we may be permitted to express surprise that a history of this nature, 
crammed full of unfamiliar names, and of necessity abounding in names rather than in facts, 
can prove such attractive reading.” —Saturday Review.
