“Who is unfamiliar with those brilliant little sketches of travel—particularly the pictures of Turkish life and manners—from the pen of the ‘Roving Englishman,’ that were, week after week, the very tit-bits of ‘Household Words?’—Who did not hail their collection into a companionable-sized volume?—and who will not thank our truly ‘fast’ friend—the friend of almost everything and everybody but foreign noodles—the ‘Roving Englishman,’ for this new book of sketches?”

LANDMARKS OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND. By the Rev. James White. (The Twenty-second Thousand.)

“We hold this to be a pattern volume of cheap literature. It is so written that it cannot fail to amuse and enlighten the more ignorant; yet it is a book that may be read with pleasure and profit, too, by the most polished scholar. In a word, excellent gifts are applied to the advantage of the people—a poetical instinct and a full knowledge of English History. It has nothing about it of common-place compilation. It is the work of a man of remarkable ability, having as such a style of its own, and a grace that cannot fail to exercise its refining influence upon uneducated people. The amount of solid information it compresses in a small compass excites in the reader’s mind repeated surprise.”—The Examiner.

LANDMARKS OF THE HISTORY OF GREECE. By the Rev. James White.

“This book, with its companion volume, deserves to have a place in every house where there are young readers, and in many a house where there are none but elder ones, able to appreciate the genial writings of a man, who having taste and knowledge at command, sits down to write in the simplest way the story of a people for a people’s reading.”—Examiner.
