Uniform with the Weekly Volume,
THE CABINET HISTORY OF ENGLAND
To be completed in Twenty Monthly Volumes, at One Shilling each, sewed, and Eighteenpence in cloth.
The Chapters in the 'Pictorial History of England' entitled 'Civil and Military History,' supply the only complete History of England in our language, written by one Author. Mr. MacFarlane, the author of these chapters, has undertaken to abridge them, and to continue them to the present day, so as to produce an original, complete, and really full narrative of our country's great story from the earliest times. Small as the price of this work will be, no other work can compete with it in the minuteness of its details and the labour of its research. The Histories of Hume and Smollett, excellent as they are in many respects, are only fragments with reference to the periods embraced by each; and since their days a flood of light has been shed upon English History, which leaves their pages, in spite of their attractions as compositions, dark by comparison with a History founded upon all we now know. The subsidiary chapters of the 'Pictorial History of England,' embracing the History of the National Industry, of Literature and Arts, and of Manners, are not included in 'The Cabinet History;' but portions of these chapters, with additions, will appear in the Series of the 'Weekly Volume.'
Of the Cabinet History Nine Volumes have been published,
which back Volumes will be kept on sale by all Booksellers.
