The best History of England.

Since the publication of Macauley’s famous work, no history of England has more promptly and de-ervedly won the ■very highest refutation, than Green’s ‘History of the English People.” Ranking fairly with Macauley in the brilliancy and interest of its sty Ze, aud superior to it in its accuiate delineation of events, it covers the entire rigid of English history, from the earliest to recent times, and giving the history of the people, rather than of the conflicts of the kings, only, while Macauley history is limited to a very brief period. Green was first published in this country by the Harpers in four octavo volumes, for $lO, but the Useful Knowledge Publishing Ca., ‘-ew York, are just completing a very handsome edition in one volume octavo, at from 65 cents for ‘utility,’ to $1 for Half Russia binding, and another edition in live charming and handy Elzevir volumes for $1.30 to $2.35 per set. It ought promptly to find a place in every home library, ns, upon the whole the best as well as the cheapest history of England. For sale by book-sellers, and Club Agents, to whom very unusual terms and facilities are given.
