GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
By Henry Ince, M.A.
*** This Edition has been very much extended and improved; by an enlargement of the size of the page, and careful arrangement of the type, a very great quantity of highly valuable information has been added.
"The 'Outlines of General Knowledge' embrace a great variety of facts connected with the natural sciences. Even the names of all the divisions into which the moderns have classified knowledge fill no inconsiderable space. Add to them the names and height of mountains, and names and length of rivers, the names of constellations, the names of the chemical elements, the amount of population of the different kingdoms of the world, the amount of their respective taxation per head, &c. &c., and the mere nomenclature seems calculated to fill a tolerably large book. All this, and more than this, is collected in Mr. Ince's 'Outlines,' and those not accustomed to the art of the author will wonder how one small head could carry all he has brought together."—The Economist.
"Well-digested 'Outlines,' which should be committed to everybody's memory."—Sharpe's Magazine.
"A capital book, deserving especial attention."—Family Friend.
"Contains for its size a remarkable quantity of interesting and well-arranged information. It would make a valuable present to Sunday Schools and lending libraries."—Athenæum.
"A vast amount of condensed information."—The Rambler.
