LINE OF BRUNSWICK.
George I 1714 12 Son to the Princess Sophia,
Electress of Hanover, and
grandaughter of James I
George II 1728 33 Son to George I
George III 1760 Grandson to George II.
I will not, my dear, enter into the history of any of these sovereigns,
as there are many English histories extant, which will give you better
information upon this subject, than you could receive from any
description of mine: indeed, the little I have now been telling you of
history in general, is only intended to awaken in your mind a desire for
the attainment of this useful knowledge. Modern History we shall defer
for several years, but I will to-morrow give you Rollin's Ancient
History, a work, I think, particularly well calculated for young people;
when you have read this, you shall proceed to the Roman History, after
which you may be able to enter into the accounts of more modern times.
In the mean while, let me beg you to continue attentive to the
instructions you receive, and new lessons and more stories shall then be
prepared for your next
BIRTH-DAY PRESENT.
THE END.
H. Bryer, Printer, Bridge-Street, Blackfriars, London.
