  BEETON'S (Mrs.) BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT, comprising every kind
    of Practical Information on Domestic Economy and Modern Cookery,
    with numerous Woodcuts and Coloured Illustrations.

  "Mrs. Isabella Beeton's 'Book of Household Management' aims at being
  a compendium of household duties in every grade of household life,
  from the mistress to the maid-of-all-work. It is illustrated by
  numerous diagrams, exhibiting the various articles of food in their
  original state, and there are also coloured plates to show how they
  ought to look when dished and ready for the table. The verdict of a
  practical cook of great experience, on returning the book to her
  mistress, was, 'Ma'am, I consider it an excellent work; it is full
  of useful information about everything, which is quite delightful;
  and I should say any one might learn to cook from it who never tried
  before."—_The Athenæum._

     Demy 8vo, half-roan, price 15_s._ With Maps and Illustrations.

  BEETON'S DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL INFORMATION, A to Z. Comprising
    Geography, Biography, History, Mythology, Biblical Knowledge,
    Chronology, with the Pronunciation of every Proper Name.

  "The 'Dictionary of Universal Information,' just published by Mr. S.
  O. Beeton, supplies a desideratum much and widely felt--that of a
  comprehensive yet portable dictionary of proper names. The
  'Encyclopædia Britannica,' the 'English Encyclopædia,' and the other
  great digests of human knowledge, in consequence of their high
  price, are accessible only to a few. In such works no special
  provision is made for supplying short and comprehensive information
  regarding individual words, arranged in their alphabetical order, of
  the kind most likely to be required by the great mass of general
  readers. Mr. Beeton to some extent enters a new field in devoting a
  Dictionary exclusively to proper names in Geography, History,
  Biography, Mythology, Bible Knowledge, and Chronology. In these
  pages condensation has been in every way sought after, and we know
  of no work which supplies more information at a smaller cost."—_The
  Times._

    Described in a simple and attractive form, suitable for Young

  "A first-rate Bible History for Children, duly divided, and
  carefully epitomised. Commencing with a short narrative of the
  Creation, the book carries the reader through the history of the
  Patriarchs, and describes the career of Moses, and the wanderings of
  the Children of Israel. The Story of the Judges, Kings and Prophets
  in Israel follow next, and the History of the Life of our Saviour,
  and the career of the Apostles, conclude this admirable 'Children's
  Bible Book.' The Illustrations exceed 150 in number, and are in a
  high style of art, and the book altogether bears conclusive evidence
  of the care bestowed upon every department in its production."

  "Care appears to have been especially taken 'to tell the stories,'
  if we may so speak, as much as possible in the language of the
  Bible, and this, of course, gives additional value to the
  compilation. Where explanation is required, it has been introduced,
  and where comment is necessary to render the subject, or any portion
  of it, easier of comprehension, such comment is, so far as our
  examination has led us to observe, both carefully and well
  appended."—_English Churchman._

  "This Dictionary is one which must commend itself to every
  intelligent reader, containing, as it does, all the recently-adopted
  words in common use up to the end of last year. Let us add, it is
  carefully and well printed, and very cheap; and having said so much,
  we feel assured that further commendation is unnecessary. It is
  good, useful, and cheap."—_Liverpool Mail._

  "This volume of Webster's Dictionary has been framed expressly for
  the benefit of those who are cultivating English composition on a
  broad scale. Obsolete words have been cut out; and the space thus
  gained has been devoted to definitions and synonyms, carefully
  discriminated in many instances. The merits of this special edition
  of Webster's learned work are cheapness, comprehensiveness of
  scheme, portability of form, and carefulness of typography."—

  English will be grateful."—_Leader._
