AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT FROM
THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO OUR OWN TIMES.

BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

Each Part contains a beautiful Steel Plate, and the whole work—divided into about Thirty-six Monthly Parts—will be enriched with about 1000 Wood Engravings.

“It is not only felt with fairness and admirably written, but very freely illustrated with good woodcuts. We can conceive that such a history, when a complete work, will be a family book, seldom suffered to be idle. It is an attempt to supply a well-known want, and we believe that the event will prove it a successful one.”—Examiner.

“A book for the parlour, the cottage, and the school-room—such is the work proposed by Mr. Knight.”—Athenæum.
