Abstract
WE have so often in these pages deplored the absence of the scientific, popular and progressive spirit in the presentation of history, especially for educational purposes, that we hasten to welcome a new and most successful effort in the right direction. The book by Mrs. Williams-Ellis and F. J. Fisher has everything to commend it. The publishers' account on its ‘jacket’ does not exaggerate in the least.
