FRANCE AND ENGLAND: consisting of Outlines and Dates. By Charlotte M. Yonge, Author of “The Heir of Redclyffe,”
“Cameos of English History,” &c. &c. Oblong 4to. 3s. 6d.This tabular history has been drawn up to supply a want felt by many teachers of some means of making their pupils realize what events in the two countries were contemporary. A skeleton narrative has been constructed of the chief transactions in either country, placing a column between for what affected both alike, by which means it is hoped that young people may be assisted in grasping the mutual relation of events, “We can imagine few more really advantageous courses of historical study for a young mind than going carefully and steadily through Miss Yonge's excellent little book.” — Educational Times.
II. By the Author of “The Heir of Redclyffe.” Extra fcap.
8vo. Second Edition, enlarged. 3s. 6d.The endeavour has not been to chronicle fads, but to put together a series of pictures of persons and events, so as to arrest the attention, and give some individuality and distinctness to the recollection, by gathering together details at the most memorable moments. The “Cameos” are intended as a book for young people just beyond the elementary histories of England, and able to enter in some degree into the real spirit of events, and to be struck with characters and scenes presented in some relief “Instead of dry details,” says the Nonconformist, “we have living pictures, faithful, vivid, and striking.”
