The period of thirteen months, comprised in the present volume, embraces events of great political importance-the death and funeral of the Protector Oliver; the peaceable succession of his son Richard; the meeting of Parliament; its failure, when no longer under the guidance of a strong and energetic hand, to hold its gronnd against formidable military power; its dissolution; the recall of the Long Parliament; the compulsory abdicature of Richard Cromwell; and the return of the Goverment, as far as practicable, into the groove in which it was made to run after the execution of Charles I. in 1649.

JAMES NASMYTH, ENGINEER: An Auto

biography. With Portrait and 90 Illustrations. Post 8vo. 6s. "The whole range of literary biography may be searched in vain for a more interesting record of an active, useful, successful, and happy life than is presented by the delightful autobiography of James Nasmyth." Edinburgh Review. "We should not know where to stop if we were to attempt to notice all that is instructive and nteresting in this volume. It will be found equally interesting to students of human nature, to engineers, to astronomers, and even to archæologists Among other merits, there are few books which could be put with more advantage into a young man's hands, as affording an example of the qualities which conduce to legitimate success in work "-Quarterly Review.

It would be impossible to give any notion here of the increasing activity of mind which gives life to every page of this book; nor can we even hint at the number of charming little mechanical 'dodges' contrived for all manner of purposes by Mr. Nasmyth in his odd moments."-Saturday Review.

"An autobiography which is quite a model, both in charming simplicity of style and in modest self-effacement. One of the most pleasant and interesting books we have met for many a day."-Globe.

MEN of INVENTION and INDUSTRY (recently

published). Post 8vo. 6s.

"Dr. Smiles has probably done more, by his many interesting books, to uphold the dignity and power of labour than any other writer. He is the prose laureate of Industry, and its captains have found in him one who is not only enthusiastic himself, but who is also capable of infusing others with a like enthusiasm.... We have no doubt that these latest chapters in the history of industry and scientific investigation will be quite as popular as their predecessor."-Times,
