On the 1st January, 1856, was published, the First Monthly Part, price
1_s._, of a

POPULAR HISTORY OF ENGLAND,

AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT FROM
THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO OUR OWN TIMES.

BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

Each Part contains a beautiful Steel Plate, and the whole work—divided
into about Thirty-six Monthly Parts—will be enriched with about 1000 Wood
Engravings.

“It is not only felt with fairness and admirably written, but very
freely illustrated with good woodcuts. We can conceive that such a
history, when a complete work, will be a family book, seldom suffered
to be idle. It is an attempt to supply a well-known want, and we
believe that the event will prove it a successful one.”—_Examiner_.

“A book for the parlour, the cottage, and the school-room—such is the
work proposed by Mr. Knight.”—_Athenæum_.

* * * * *

Publishing in Monthly Parts, price 6s. each,

NATURE-PRINTED FERNS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

_This new and important Folio Work on the_ “_British Ferns_,” _to be completed in Seventeen Parts_, _will contain_, _besides Wood Engravings_, _upwards of fifty large folio Plates of_ “_Ferns_,” _represented_, _life-size_, _by NATURE-PRINTING_. _With Descriptions of the Indigenous Species and Varieties by_ THOMAS MOORE, F.L.S., _and Edited by_ DR. LINDLEY.

OR, THIRD DIVISION OF THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA, CONDUCTED
BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

“Two Divisions of Mr. Knight’s admirable Cyclopædia—those comprising
Natural History and Geography—being now finished, a third is here
entered upon; and we have before us the First Part of a New
Biographical Dictionary, which, when completed, will form a perfect
work in itself, and will present a large body of information on the
personal history of distinguished men, brought down almost to the day
of publication. All living men of any degree of celebrity are
included in this collection, and the very freshest incidents in their
lives are not forgotten.”—_Leader_.

Just completed, each in 4 vols., price £2 2_s._,

learning.”—_Times_.

FOOTNOTES.

{13} We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. G. F. Ward, of the General Manager’s Office, and Mr. H. Parker, the indefatigable Goods Manager, for the above statistics of this mammoth establishment.

{77} While these sheets were waiting for the press, the hand of death has removed our friend, the Rev. W. H. Massie, to his reward in heaven. Of him it may truly be said, that, having done his Master’s work upon earth, he has now gone aloft to be partaker of His glory! May the mantle of this modern Elijah fall on his successor, the Rev. C. Bowen! An elegant stained glass window, raised by public subscription to the honour of Mr. Massie, will shortly beautify the chancel of this Church.
