Valuable Works 
XV. OUTLINES of HISTORY, from the Earliest 
Records to the Present Time. Prepared for the Use of 
Schools, with Questions, by John Frost, A. M. 
a W e have glanced over, with much satisfaction, the second American edition 
of a work entitled, 6 Outlines of History; embracing a concise history of the 
World, from the earliest period to the pacification of Europe in 1815,’ which is 
just published by Messrs. Carey & Lea. This edition contains some important 
additions, and a set of questions for examination of students — arranged by John 
Frost, A. M. The main object of the work is, by giving a selection of interest- 
ing and striking facts from more elaborate histories, properly and carefully ar- 
ranged with chronological tables, to render the study of general history less dry 
and repulsive than it has been heretofore. This, we think is fully accomplished. 
Very great care appears to have been bestowed on the selections, and in arrang- 
ing the chronological tables, as well as in the classification of the historical mat- 
ter into parts and chapters. The work will sufficiently recommend itself to all 
who examine it.” — Sat. Eve. Post.
