Opinions of the Press.

CHRONOLOGICAL PICTURES OF ENGLISH HISTORY.

FROM THE ANCIENT BRITONS TO QUEEN VICTORIA.
Designed and Lithographed by JOHN GILBERT.

In Eight Parts. Every Part contains Five Plates, with Facsimiles of the Autographs of the Sovereigns and most distinguished Characters, accompanied with Tabular Sheets of Letterpress, carefully compiled. **Each Plate illustrates a Reign. "This work makes us aware that artistic talent of no ordinary kind is engaged."

"One of the best helps to the study of English history

we have seen."

To present accurate drawings and pleasing pictures is not the only nor primary object of this work, but rather to impart lessons of practical importance and daily application in an attractive form, and to open up a subject which, judiciously applied, is calculated to prove to the young a most interesting and instructive study.

VARTY'S GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATIONS OF ANIMALS.

SHOWING THEIR UTILITY TO MAN, IN THEIR SERVICES DURING LIFE AND USES AFTER DEATH.

The size of the Prints is 15 inches by 12. Single Prints, 1s. 6d.

This object is effected in the present publication, which furnishes a most correct, simple, and attractive method of cultivating the study of the Animal Kingdom. Its peculiar features are, that the Animals are drawn from
