Great Exhibition (1851 : London, England) -- Juvenile literature
From accepted Authorities, English and Foreign; as Grote's and
Chambers's Histories of Greece, Smith's Greek and Roman Antiquities,
Thirlwall and Wordsworth's Greece, Smith's Mythology and Biography,
Annals of Commerce, Library of Useful Knowledge, &c. With Questions to
each Chapter, a Chronological Table, Index, and a coloured Map of the
Greek States. Price 3_s_. bound in cloth, lettered.
We have not met with any History of Greece that contains, within the
same compass, so large an amount of interesting and valuable
information. Miss Corner writes concisely, perspicuously, and
sensibly.--_Westley Banner._
A concise History of Greece, well adapted for Schools.--_Cambridge
Independent Press._
This is a very excellent compendium of Grecian History, and such are
the merits of the Work that we shall not be surprised at its becoming
a popular educational book.--_The British Mother's Magazine._
Remarkably clear in its arrangement, while the simple and easy
style in which it is written, peculiarly fits it for popular
use, it displays much careful resourch on the part of its
Author.--_Englishwoman's Magazine._
Miss Corner has the art of writing so as to be understood by youthful
readers.--_London Literary Journal._
By far the best introductory School History of Greece we have ever
seen.--_The British Banner._
A combination of simplicity of narrative, with comprehensiveness of
detail, admirably adapted for the use of the School-room.--_Douglas
Jerrald's Weekly News._
With feminine delicacy, Miss Corner omits what should be omitted,
giving meanwhile a narrative of the broad character and features that
mark the progress of a nation.--_Express, Evening Paper._
The results of the best modern scholarship are here given.--_Leader_.
Miss Corner's Histories require no recommendation of ours to bring
them into notice. This Volume, her History of Greece, is written with
great clearness and fluency, the fabulous tales which disfigure so
many professedly authentic histories of the Greeks are discarded. We
cordially recommend this work for the School-room, or family
circle.--_Gospel Herald._
