BOSTON LIBRARY EDITION. PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & COMPANY Are now publishing HUME'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND, from the Invasion of Julius Cæsar to the Abdication of James II., 1688, and continued from that time by T. BABINGTON MACAULAY, with notes and references; being an accurate reprint from the Standard English Editions. The above works are published in large crown 12mo. form, bound uniform in muslin and sheep binding, printed from good clear type, forming altogether the cheapest and most perfect Library Edition of the two authors, ever issued from the American press. Each volume contains over five hundred large duodecimo pages, and are sold separately or together at 62 cents per volume. Extract from the North American Review for October, 1849. "The best advice that can be given even now to the diligent student of English history, is to read Hume first, and Henry, Lingard, Hallam, Brodie, Guizot, Aikin, and a host of others, afterwards. Any one of these later candidates for public favor may be omitted without material loss; Hume alone is indispensable. But the greatest compliment that Hume's work ever received, is that which has just been paid to it perforce by the most brilliant and captivating of English writers of our own day. The all-accomplished Mr. Macaulay, who seems to have been born for the sole purpose of making English history as fascinating as one of Scott's romances, durst not enter into competition with his great predecessor, but modestly begins his history almost at the point where Mr. Hume's terminates. Mr. Macaulay evidently prefers to be ontinuator of Hume, rather than to wrestle with him on his own ground. |
