Tbe four volumes cover the following periods: Volume 1., from “The English Kingdoms” (607) to “The Hundred Years’ War” (1377); Volume 11,. from 1377 to “The Reformation” (1603): Volume 111., from 1603 to “The Revolution” (1670); Volume IV., from 1679 to “Modern England” (1815); with an Epilogue (1815-1873). , The illustration for the romance entitled “Personal Recollections of of Joan Arc,” the first instalment of which wifi be given in the April number of Harper’s Magazine, are by F. V! Du Mond.
