Quarterly Review.—"The ‘Baglish Cycdopadia' is a work that, a whole, has no sitperiur, and very Few equals, of ity Kind; that, tskeu by iisclf, supplies the place of a smali tihcary, and, used iy a Jarge brary, is found to present many potats of imfortation thal are sought in vain in many other Cyclopardias inthe lngtish language.”

The Times.—"As regards the contents of this Cyclopuedia, it is Inpossilile to give any sufficient Impression of an aggregate which includes somewhere or other al the infermation geucrally required poo every couceivable topic. The most complete Biegraphical Dictionary in the lneglish language."

Saturday Review.—"Its great recommendation is not is comparative cheapness though the cost unly averages about half. Joga n yulupe , but its otiginality, completencss, and general trustworthiness."

Macmillan's Magazine.—"Whoever wets au Encyclopedia, extensive and yet chop, and compiled throughout on the principle of compendions and accunae iiformation vn alt subjects rather than on that of collected individual dissertutions, crpagt da better than procure the ' Rnglish Cyelopadia’ of Mr. Charles Knight."

Daily News.—"In its conplcted form, the ‘English Cyctopadia’ is destined, we are sure, to prove of imupense valus.

This new Edition of, perhaps, the most valued and complete History of England in the language, is designed, as to detail, to be, in its appearance, more accordant with its position as an indispensable standard book for the library. The principal points of difference from former issues are: ‘he worl “ Popular” (sornetimes misinterpreted) is expunged from the title; the paper is improved ; a larger margin is allowed; the ifustrations are printed on tuned papers a full classifted’ Index completes Vol. VIL; and the annals are brought down to the close of 1867.

Lord Brougham.—"The plates, as well as the paper, are greatly superior, and its literary merits are of a very high order, Indeed, nothing has ever appeared superior, if anything has been published equal, to the account of the state of commerce, government, and society at different periods."

The Times.—"This is the History for English youth."

Westminster Review.—"It is as good a book of the kind as ever was written."

Athenæum—"We kuyuw of na History of England so free from pre- judiec, so thorough!y hanest and impartial, so stored with facts, fancies, and lustrations."

All the Year Round.—"So ubserves Mr. Chacles Kinght in his acdois rably comprehensive Poplar History of Englund,’ from which no topic that concerns the histury of the Engtish people—not ever this question of the history. of parish registers—has been onjtted! that bovk of Mr. Knighr’s being, Jet us say here, by the way, the best history extant, not only for, bur also of, the people."

Nonconformist.—"Henceforward a boy may lean English History without che springs of knowledge being poisoned at their fouats, Hence. forward we hope t see Jess and fess vf Goldsmith and Jace, and more and nere of Knight."
