PREFACE.

I. THE present volume offers, in the space of two pages, an adequate and varied portion for each day's instruction; every lesson being complete in itself, the notes furnishing a clue to all needful explanations.

II. The lessons are all connected and systematic, forming, when read, a Course of instruction in English and General History, the Elements of Physics, and Natural History.

III. The geographical questions and chronological notes, together with the definitions and roots, the explanations of scientific terms, and the various statistical and other tables embodied in the Appendix, form a mass of information never before collected ir. one volume for the purposes of school instruction

The book is thus eminently a TEXT BOOK, complete in itself, yet affording facilities for additional teaching to the utmost extent of the teacher's capacity.

Offering in the space of 324 pages an enlarged course of instruction in History, Physics, and Natural

History, it may fairly lay claim to the character of the cheapest and most comprehensive Class Book yet offered to the public.

To make it what it is, neither labour nor expense has been spared. The greater part of the lessons have been specially written for the book; and those which have been compiled, have undergone careful correction and revision,
