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 15s. 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.
BEETON'S DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL INFORMATION,
A to Z. Comprising the Sciences, Arts, Literary Knowledge, with the Etymology
and Pronunciation of every Leading Term.
"Mr. Beeton has published quite a library of general knowledge and information, and his books
of reference contain as much as many more elaborate works, though published at half the price, and
with less than half the pretence."—The Saturday Review.

in favour with middle-class families.

DOWER'S POPULAR ATLASES, FOR SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES.
⁂ The name of Dower is as closely associated with Maps and Atlases as is Webster
with Dictionaries. Dower's Maps are to be thoroughly relied upon, and great pains are taken
by the publishers that, from time to time, these Maps shall be corrected and enlarged, as new
discoveries and events render necessary additions to the names in an Atlas, or physical and
political changes demand alterations in geographical boundaries.

abridgment, is rendered by the addition of Supplementary Notes from recent sources a most
desirable Modern Copyright Edition.
⁂ MATTHEW HENRY'S COMMENTARY recommends itself to all classes of
the community. While it presents no paradoxes to baffle the unlettered, the learned cannot
afford to slight its deep wisdom. It is a Work which must be an acquisition alike to Clergymen
and Ministers of every Protestant Denomination--to Heads of Families--to the Readers
in Mechanics' Institutes and Artisans' Libraries--to Principals of Schools--and to all Bible
Students of every rank and grade.

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.

WEBSTER'S UNIVERSAL PRONOUNCING AND DEFINING
DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Condensed from
Noah Webster's large Work, with numerous Synonyms, carefully discriminated by
Chauncey A. Goodrich, D.D., Professor in Yale College. To which are added
"Walker's Key" to the Pronunciation of Classical and Scriptural Proper Names; a
Vocabulary of Modern Geographical Names; Phrases and Quotations from the
Ancient and Modern Languages; Abbreviations used in Writing, Printing, &c., &c.
⁂ This comprehensive work is beautifully printed on good paper, in a clear and distinct
type, in double columns, and has had the benefit of revision to the present time.
"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."—Critic.
"This is a well-printed and convenient volume, for which students of English will be grateful."—Leader.
