'HE RISE AND GROWTH OF THE ENG- 

 LISH NA TJON. With Special Reference to Epochs and 

 Crises. A History of and for the People. By W. H. S. 

 Aubrey, LL. D. In Three Volumes. i2ino. Cloth, $4.50. 



" The merit of this work is intrinsic. It rests on the broad intelligence and true 

 philosophy of the method employed, and the coherency and accuracy of the results 

 reached. The scope of the work is marvelous. Never was there more crowded into 

 three small volumes. But the saving of space is not by the sacrifice of substance or 

 of style. The broadest view of the facts and forces embraced by die subject is exhibited 

 with a clearness of arrangement and a definiteness of application that render it per- 

 ceptible to the simplest apprehension." — l^e-w York Mail and Express. 



"A useful and thorough piece of work. One of the best treatises which the 

 general reader can use." — London Daily Chronicle. 



"Conceived in a popular spirit, yet with strict regard to the modem standards. 

 The title is fully borne out. No want of color in the descriptions. "—Z,(?«(fo« Daily 

 Neius. 



"The plan laid down results in an admirable English 'W\s\xiry."— London Mominz 

 Post 



"Dr. Aubrey has supplied a want. His method is undoubtedly the right one."— 

 Pall Mall Gazette. 



" It is a distinct step forward in history writing; as far ahead of Green as he was of 

 Macaulay, though on a different line. Green gives the picture of England at different 

 times— Aubrey goes deeper, showing the causes which led to the changes."^^^^^ 

 York World. 



" A work that will commend itself to the student of history, and as a comprehen- 

 sive and convenient reference- book." — The Argonaut. 



"Contains much that the ordinary reader can with difficulty find elsewhere unless 

 he has access to a library of special works." — Chicago Dial. 



"Up to date in its narration of fact, and in its elucidation of those great principles 

 that underlie all vital and worthy history.^ . . , The painstaking division, along with 

 the admirably complete index, will make it easy work for any student to get definite 

 views of any era, or any particular feature of it. . . . The work strikes one as being 

 more comprehensive than many that cover far more space." — The Christian In- 

 telligencer. 



"One of the most elaborate and noteworthy of recent contributions to historical 

 literature." — Neiv Haven Register. 



" As a popular history it possesses great merits, and in many particulars is excelled 

 by none. It is full, careful as to dates, maintains a generally praiseworthy impartiality, 

 and it is interesting to read." — Buffalo Express. 



" These volumes are a surprise and in their way a marvel. , . . They constitute an 

 almost encylopaedia of English history, condensing in a marvelous manner the facts 

 and principles developed in the history of the Enghsh nation. . . . The work is one of 

 unsurpassed value to the historical student or even the general reader, and when more 

 widely known will no doubt be appreciated as one of the remarkable contributions to 

 English history published in the century." — Chicago Universalist. 



" In every page Dr. Aubrey writes with the far-reaching relation of contemporary 

 incidents to the whole subject. The amount of matter these three volumes contain is 

 marvelous. The style in which they are written is more tiian satisfactory. . . . The 

 work is one of unusual importance." — Hartford Post.
