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.

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."Contains a considerable amount of information of a very valuable kind, on a variety of subjects, that in ordinary routine of education are too much overlooked, an acquaintance with which is every day becoming more and more indispensable. They are germs which cannot fail to vegetate in the mind, to fructify in the head, and eventually to produce a fourfold reward to him who labours in the acquisition of them."—Sunday School Magazine."Calculated to instruct anyone of common intelligence on every known topic of importance, and to start him with a mind stored with the accumulated learning of 6000 years."—The Mirror."A valuable little publication, full of information in a small compass, creating an appetite for deeper investigation."—Bell's Life.

PHILIPS'
PENNY ATLAS OF THE WORLD,
IN A
Series of fifty-two Imperial Quarto Maps, Engraved on Steel,
INCLUDING
FIVE ANCIENT MAPS, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS IN ANCIENT HISTORY,
WITH A COPIOUS CONSULTING INDEX OF PLACES.
Geographical Knowledge was to a considerable extent an essential necessity even in the early periods of our world, cultivated indeed at first for almost purely social purposes, yet in the same proportion as our progenitors increased in numbers, so also did their extended range of observation instil into their minds the necessity of more practical observations on the relative bearings of the districts through which they passed, noting at the same time the numerous changes of hill and dale, rivulet and stream, and the countless varieties of the wonderful products with which it pleased Almighty God to bless its various regions. Hence progressively arose the Topographical and Geographical Delineations with which the Scriptures abound; to a similar cause may also be traced the contributions which the savage tribes have at various periods of our World's History added to the branches of Geographical science.
Now, in the same proportion as any people forming a Nation develope their commercial and intellectual strength, in the same ratio has it pleased Providence to render it necessary that its inhabitants should not only become acquainted with the Topographical and Geographical features, relative distances and bearings, of their own and neighbouring nations, but of every portion of the known world, even extending their researches to unknown regions. Indeed, no member of a commercial nation, especially in one where education is much diffused, is qualified to act his part aright as one of its people, unless he is able to form a tolerably accurate notion of the names of Nations, Places, Seas, Rivers, Mountains, &c., their relative position and extent, as well as to learn how richly the Creator of the Earth has endowed them all with the means of ministering to those comforts and pleasures of which man in every state of society and climate so much stands in need.
These reflections might be much extended, but the limits of a prospectus will not permit it. Suffice it to say that every Englishman, be he rich or poor, should have access to modern Maps of the various portions of the World, in order to possess the means of cultivating a knowledge of its divisions, the names of the chief Nations, Places, &c. &c., as well as to be able to form intellectual and commercial ideas of its numerous products, and the respective regions from whence come the countless varieties of foreign substances now in use among us as articles of ornament or necessity.
Now, though a Modern Atlas of the World is so essential to every family in this kingdom, still it has been almost limited in its possession, on account of the high price at which all really good and practical works have hitherto been issued. To remove this difficulty has been the principal motive which has induced the Proprietors of "Philips' Penny Modern Atlas" to issue a work which they feel satisfied will be universally admitted to be surprisingly cheap, and not surpassed in usefulness by any attempt hitherto made to extend the knowledge of Geography.

GILBERT'S COPIOUS SERIES OF PAMPHLETS
ON THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION;
CONTAINING
Important Documents of Permanent Historical Interest having reference to the re-Establishment of the
CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND,
1850-1.
The Editor of these Pamphlets deems it almost superfluous to dwell on the paramount importance of every respectable family possessing this volume of very special present and permanent interest. During the discussion of the exciting matters now at issue in this all-absorbing question, there can be no questioning the well-recognised fact that the possession of this copious and cheap volume is essential to every thoughtful and inquiring person in our beloved country. For those who are as yet unaware of the immense mass of interesting and important documents that are in its pages,AN INDEX OF ITS CONTENTS IS ISSUED FOR GRATUITOUS DISTRIBUTION—this will abundantly testify to the fact; and the Editor, thinks it only necessary to state that, with scarcely an exception, the whole of the documents are printed, verbatim, as they originally appeared, and in very numerous cases they have had the additional advantage of the direct and special revision of the authors.
The Editor expresses his conviction that all the important facts and documents relative to the "Roman Catholic Question" have appeared in the pages of these pamphlets. Doubtless, during the progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill through the Houses of Parliament speeches of interest will be made; still the Editor thinks they will be merely elaborations of the materials already in these pages, devoid of original facts or documents.
*** Any persons who may wish to possess the Series or sheet containing specific articles particularised in the Index, will be at liberty to purchase it separately, at One Penny or Three-halfpence each sheet respectively, or at Twopence each extra post-free, through the publisher. Series 1 to 17 sell at 1d., and 18 to 25 at 1½d. each; but it must be observed that each sheet or Series contains several documents.
