NEW ILLUSTRATED WORKS.
THE GREAT SCHOOLS OF ENGLAND. A History of the Foundation, Endowments,
and Discipline of the chief Seminaries of Learning in England; including
Eton, Winchester, Westminster, St. Paul's, Charterhouse, Merchant
Taylors', Harrow, Rugby, Shrewsbury, &c; with notices of distinguished
Scholars. By Howard Staunton, Esq. With numerous Illustrations. One
volume 8vo., handsomely bound in cloth, price 12_s._
"_The book is as full of solid matter as of gossiping narrative
and pleasant anecdote. As a handbook to our great schools Mr.
Staunton's volume will have a wide class of
readers._"--Athenæum.
"_Cannot fail to be interesting to all fathers and mothers, and
it appeals to the sympathies of everyone who has been a boy,
and has been educated at a public school. Good store of
anecdote, amusing and pathetic, has been provided; and the
exquisite letters written to the famous poet, soldier, and
gentleman, Sir Philip Sydney, by his father and mother, when
the future 'Scipio, Cicero, and Petrarch of his time' was a boy
at Shrewsbury, are wonderfully moving, and worthy of the
attention of every father, every mother, and every
son._"--Illustrated London News.
"_The work is so full of practical information on the details
of school life at these great foundations that it may be
regarded as a guide book to all who contemplate sending their
sons thither. For all such the volume must have a solid value,
as enabling them to compare the several systems prevailing at
different places, and to determine beforehand which offers the
greatest advantages. The subject, however, is interesting to
all intelligent Englishmen, and the book has, therefore, a
general attraction beyond the circle which it specially
addresses._"--London Review.

Designs, forming a volume of "Cundall's Choice of Choice Books." Small
