Remarks on Manners, Customs, Arts, Dresses, &c.
BY HENRY INCE, M.A.
*** In consequence of the rapidly extended sale and approval of this Work, every page of the present Edition has been carefully enlarged and much improved. By a judicious enlargement of the width and length of the page, one-third more letter-press is introduced without any increase of price.
"In the system of Education sufficient regard is not always paid to impressing on the pupil's mind the leading points in a branch of study. His memory is confused with a too great variety of details. This manual of Mr. Ince's is well calculated to counteract this defective method, by affording a well-digested outline, which should be carefully committed to memory, and afterwards filled up by means of oral instruction or reference to larger works. Lively chapters of historical memoranda, and brief sketches of manners and customs, are appropriately introduced. We can cordially recommend this well-digested manual."—Sharpe's Magazine.
"A neat and accurate compendium, and written with perspicuity. The events of each reign are arranged under different heads, so as to give at a glance a comprehensive view of the whole."—Athenæum.
"A new edition, with improvements. It is a little 'Rapin' in its way, a history condensed into a nutshell; and we feel assured will, with its companion works, form the future text-books of the young of both sexes. Works intended for the mental culture of the young are sure to meet our approval when properly deserving it; and in the present instance we feel inclined to extend the usual limit of our remarks in favour of the lucid and well-arranged books which Mr. Ince has issued for the rising generation. We could not forbear a smile, on glancing over their contents, at the recollection of the sundry fat quartos and huge folios through which in boyhood we were obliged to wade for the acquirement of a less amount of information than is here presented within the space of one hundred pages."—The Mirror.
"Well-digested and useful outlines of our History, and deserves to be a standard educational work."—Eclectic Review.
