THE SCHEME OF THE WORK.
The history of each nation is treated separately, and not merged into a general historical abstract, as is the case of many so-called histories of the world. By this method the interest of the subject is maintained, and it is rendered more useful as a work of reference and eminently more readable.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
The whole work contains 50 coloured plates and about 3,000 beautiful illustrations, besides numerous historical maps. A large number of the pictures are from drawings specially prepared for the work by some of our most eminent living artists. Many of the best known historical paintings are also included. Never before has a historical work been illustrated on the same extensive scale. The volumes form a wonderful gallery of art of all ages.
