*** In consequence of the rapidly extended sale and approval of this Work,
every page of the present Edition has been carefully enlarged and much
improved. By a judicious enlargement of the width and length of the page,
one-third more letter-press is introduced without any increase of price.

"In the system of Education sufficient regard is not always paid to
impressing on the pupil's mind the leading points in a branch of study.
His memory is confused with a too great variety of details. This manual
of Mr. Ince's is well calculated to counteract this defective method, by
affording a well-digested outline, which should be carefully committed to
memory, and afterwards filled up by means of oral instruction or
reference to larger works. Lively chapters of historical memoranda, and
brief sketches of manners and customs, are appropriately introduced. We
can cordially recommend this well-digested manual."--_Sharpe's Magazine._
"A neat and accurate compendium, and written with perspicuity. The events
of each reign are arranged under different heads, so as to give at a
glance a comprehensive view of the whole."--_Athenæum._
"A new edition, with improvements. It is a little 'Rapin' in its way, a
history condensed into a nutshell; and we feel assured will, with its
companion works, form the future text-books of the young of both sexes.
Works intended for the mental culture of the young are sure to meet our
approval when properly deserving it; and in the present instance we feel
inclined to extend the usual limit of our remarks in favour of the lucid
and well-arranged books which Mr. Ince has issued for the rising
generation. We could not forbear a smile, on glancing over their
contents, at the recollection of the sundry fat quartos and huge folios
through which in boyhood we were obliged to wade for the acquirement of a
less amount of information than is here presented within the space of one
hundred pages."--_The Mirror._
"Well-digested and useful outlines of our History, and deserves to be a
standard educational work."--_Eclectic Review._
"Superior to anything of the kind; here is a clear and comprehensive
outline of the whole History of England. We cordially recommend
it."--_Wesley Banner._
"The leading points are clearly traced, and adapted for easy transmission
to the mind."--_Mark-lane Express._
"A valuable addition to those books specially designed for
education."--_Bell's Messenger._
"These 'Outlines' are particularly well done."--_Bankers Magazine._
"A good compendium; it contains the essence of very many volumes, serving
not only as helps for the education of youth, but as refreshers to the
memory to those who are old."--_Sunday School Magazine._
