The Graphic History of the British Empire. By W. F. Collier, LL.D.; Revised and Continued by W. Scott Dalgleish, M.A. Illustrated with Maps, Plans, and Tables. Crown 8vo, cloth extra. Price 6s. 6d.
The title, The Graphic History, is justified not only by the picturesque style of the work, but also by its contents and its plan. It consists of a series of pictures showing, on a broad canvas and without too many details, the great movements—political, social, educational, and religious—which embody essentially the history of the British Islands and the British people. The narrative ends with the Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
