BLACK'S EDUCATIONAL SERIES (Continued) HISTORY (Continued). ENGLISH HISTORY ILLUSTRATED Period 1216-1307. N. L. FRAZER, B.A. With 21 Illustrations. 1309-1399. N. L. FRAZER, B. A. With 14 Illustrations. 1399-1485. F. H. DURHAM. In this series an attempt has been made to combine the "reader" with the "text-book," to interest children in English history by presenting it to them in a picturesque and vivid form, and to provide at the same time a sound ground-work of facts which may be used as the basis of more detailed teaching. The series is intended primarily for the use of middle forms. The biographies are simply written, but pains have been taken to embody in them the results of recent historical research, without entering on the discussion of disputed questions. By G. E. MITTON. THE GLORY OF LONDON. With 6 full-page Illustrations in colour, and 48 Pictures in the Text. Price 1s. 6d. This reading book is intended for use in elementary schools and in the lower forms of secondary schools. It is hoped that it may be the means of introducing young people to a fuller understanding of the great centre of thought and commerce, and that the children of Great and Greater Britain may gather from it their first knowledge of the mother city which they may hope one day to visit. BLACK'S EDUCATIONAL SERIES (Continued) HISTORY (Continued). MAPS OF OLD LONDON. London in 1741-5, by JOHN ROCQUE. London, circa 1560, by RALPH Agas. By Rev. TELFord Varley, M.A., B.Sc. THE STORY OF HAMPSHIRE. A County History. With 8 full-page Illustrations in colour, and 32 in black and white. Price 18. 6d. Aims at rendering accessible to the upper standards of elementary schools and the lower and middle forins of secondary schools some of the wealth of history contained in local records, whether in stone, document, formal treatise, or institutions, past and present. Reference has, of course, been made from time to time, to the wider stream of national history, so far as has appeared necessary for the sake of continuity and completeness, so that it is hoped that the book will be capable of being used in Hampshire schools as a real and effective introduction to the whole subject. The illustrations are all drawn from local sources. By W. M. MACKENZIE, M. A. OUTLINE OF SCOTTISH HISTORY. With 101 Illustrations and Maps. Price 2s. 6d. Its purpose is to provide an outline of the history of Scotland as history; to do in brief compass what has been done exhaustively by the historians of many volumes. The aim of the author as a whole has been to substitute a clearly written, coherent, and, it is hoped, interesting narrative not overburdened with names and dates, for the broken succession of "merry tales" and exaggerated episodes to which Scottish History on this scale has been reduced, and which has destroyed at once its popular interest and its educational value. Edited by W. M. MACKENZIE, M.A. THE BRUCE. By JOHN BARBOUR. Selections for use in Schools, with an Introduction, a section on Early Scots Grammar, Notes, and a Glossary. Price 1s. 6d. Contains some characteristic passages, with the whole of the account of the Battle of Bannockburn, in which Barbour is at his best as a narrative and descriptive poet. Knowledge of Barbour will also afford matter for instructive comparison with the later work in a similar field of Sir Walter Scott, whose inheritance in part from the earlier poet is well understood. HYMNS. By Prof. J. J. FINDLAY, M.A. LAUDATE. A Hymn-Book for Schools. Containing 86 hymns and 18 chants. With Music, full score in Staff Notation, and Soprano and Contralto in Tonic Sol-fa. Price 2s. 6d. Edition with WORDS ONLY. Price 6d. This selection of Hymns and Psalms has become widely recognised as the standard collection for use in Day Schools, and especially in schools of a public, undenominational character where the schoolday is opened or closed with a brief service of prayer and praise. "If there is a better selection for use in schools we have not met with it."-Secondary Education. BLACK'S EDUCATIONAL SERIES (Continued) LATIN (Continued). By T. S. FOSTER, B.A. PUERORUM LIBER AUREUS. A First Latin Translation Book. With 15 Illustrations. Second Edition. Price 18. 6d. In the preparation of this little book an attempt has been made to give the Roman story of the invasions of Britain in a series of exercises carefully graded for those first beginning Latin. The method of presenting events, as they may have appeared to a Roman schoolboy living in Etruria, will, it is hoped, add a personal interest for those using the book. PICTURES. A Series of Pictures in colour suitable for SCHOOL and HOME decoration (about 17 x 21 inches). Framed complete, in two styles. Price For full List of Pictures apply to the The Menpes Series of Great Masters. Twenty-seven facsimile reproductions BELLINI, BOTTICELLI, CONSTABLE, DA VINCI, For List of Pictures and Prices see p. 23. A detailed Prospectus of either Series will be sent on application. "The 'Menpes Series of Great Masters' is certainly one of the wonders of the age. There has been nothing like it in colourprinting a great masterpiece' so faithful to the original that an expert would not know the difference without minute investigation."-The Speaker.
