PUBLISHER'S ADVERTISEMENT.

THE present History is intended for the use of Public
Schools throughout the country, being a more element-
ary book than the larger History of Greece by the same
author, which appropriately succeeds it in more ad-
vanced classes.

This volume will be followed by similar Histories of
Rome and England.

The Table of Contents presents a full analysis of the
work, and has been so arranged that the teacher can
frame from it questions for the examination of his class,
the answers to which will be found in the corresponding
pages of the volume.
