TWENTY-FIFTH AMERICAN, FROM THE NINETEENTH LONDON EDITION, IMPROVED
BY W.C. TAYLOR, LL.D.,
WITH NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS, BY ATHERTON AND OTHERS.
Pinnock's England, Greece, Rome, and France, have become school classics. In order to make this series more complete, the volumes have been revised by that well-known historian, W.C. Taylor, LL.D., of Trinity College, Dublin.
The popularity of these books is almost without a parallel. Teachers unacquainted with them, will on examination give them a decided preference to any other historical series published.

PINNOCK'S GOLDSMITH'S GREECE, ROME, AND ENGLAND.—The popularity of these histories is almost without a parallel among our school books. Their use is co-extensive with the English language, and their names are familiar to all who have received an English education. But if permitted to remain as they came from the hands of the author, they would soon be antiquated; for not only is the stream of modern history flowing onward, but numerous scholars are constantly making researches into that of ancient times. These works are therefore frequently revised, and thus the labours of successive individuals are added to those of the gifted man who wrote them. The present edition is quite an improvement on the former ones. Several important matters which had before been omitted, have been introduced into the text, numerous notes and several new cuts have been added, and every chapter commences with one or more well selected poetical lines, which express the subject of the chapter, and will assist the memory as well as improve the taste of the student. We feel assured that these additions will increase the reputation which these works have hitherto so deservedly sustained.
