THE PALM TRIBES—LIFE OF CYRUS—LIFE OF SIR ISAAC NEWTON—SWITZERLAND—IONA—MONEY—THE INQUISITION.
These volumes belong to a series of nearly uniform size, written by some of the first pens of the age. In every one of them a vast amount of useful information is presented in a short compass. They are of that class desiderated by Dr. Arnold—“I never wanted articles on religious subjects half so much as articles on common subjects, written with a decidedly religious turn.” They are valuable additions to Sunday-school and family libraries, with special reference to which they have been carefully revised by the Editor. They are sold at 30 cts. each. London in the Olden Times, and more than thirty others, belong to this series.
