"This book is not undeserving of the popularity it has obtained: it is
full of information, and contains the substance of more knowledge of the
social progress, manners, and customs of our ancestors than many works of
far larger pretensions."--_The third review of the Athenæum._
"A great deal of information in a small compass, and the author has
availed himself of the latest authorities. We prefer the form of Outlines
to Catechisms. It contributes to the formation of more logical views,
both by the teacher and scholar. Catechisms are the school-books of
parrots."--_Spectator._
"Both the plan and style are perspicuous; it is admirably adapted for
what it is intended."--_The Times._
"Contains a vast amount of interesting and useful knowledge, and
admirably adapted as helps to parents and teachers of youth."--_Tait's
Magazine._
"A well-digested little book."--_Literary Gazette._
"A very useful book for the instruction of youth, being a complete
_resumé_ of the whole History of England."--_Metropolitan._
"Well adapted for the education of the young."--_New Monthly Magazine._
"The brief statements of the principal events of each Sovereign's reign
are neat and succinct."--_The Economist._
"An improved edition of Mr. Ince's very useful book."--_The Rambler._
"Ince's 'Outlines' is a very excellent book to put into the learner's
hands: it is clear and well-arranged."--_Author's Institute Circular._

THE SIXTH EDITION OF
OUTLINES OF FRENCH HISTORY,
WITH NOTICES OF
THE MANNERS, CUSTOMS, ARTS, ETC., OF THE DIFFERENT PERIODS.
BY HENRY INCE, M.A.
"It affords a very pleasing view of the whole History of France. The
author being gifted with a philosophical mind and a classical taste, the
subjects, though treated in a detached, are far from being treated in a
dry and unentertaining manner."--_The Times._
"It is embellished with some capital engravings, and abounds in the
narration of those romantic events which form the groundwork of so many
delightful works."--_The Mirror._
"Mr. Ince is not of those men who speak much without saying anything; he
says much in a few words."--_French Paper._
"A very useful educational work."--_Literary Gazette._

very great quantity of highly valuable information has been added.
