'MISS SEWELL writes principally for school-girls, and especially for those whom her religious novels have brought into sympathy with her lady-like method of teaching theology. The glory of Egypt is traced from its supposed beginning, about three hundred and sixty years after the Deluge, down to the death of CLEOPATRA, thirty years before the Christian era; while the Assyrian and Babylonian narrative occupies the narrower limits of B.C. 2,000 and B.C. 538. Both subjects are important preliminaries to a thorough understanding of Grecian and Roman history; and, as no earlier book of this sort has been written for the help of young readers, MISS SEWELL'S volume is especially to be commended.'

AN endeavour has been made in the following pages to give a short outline of the principal facts of Roman History, in language suited to the comprehension of a child. At a time when so many valuable and learned works have appeared upon the same subject, it would be useless for a person, unacquainted with the Latin language, to attempt any thing beyond; and even this little book would probably never have been undertaken, if the need of such an elementary work in the teaching of young children had not been actually felt by the writer. The facts stated have been mainly authenticated from the history of Dr. Schmitz. May 5th, 1849. |
