Excerpt from Historical and Miscellaneous Questions for the Use of Young People

The Publishers, in laying before the public the present greatly improved Edition, beg to state that the Work has undergone a careful revision throughout. The Historical and Biographical portions have been considerably eu larged, and brought down to the present year. The great events of the last few years have been carefully noted; in cluding the Crimean and Italian wars, and the Indian Mutiny. Improvements in the Arts and Sciences have been specially attended to: and in the chapter on Common Things, notices of recent and important inventions, such as the Electric Telegraph, &c., have been added. A chapter on Geography has been introduced, which, it is hoped, will prove of considerable value.
