'Mr. MORRIS shines in biography. His miniature portraits of QUEEN ANNE, the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, and Lord PETERBOROUGH are especially good; not professing anything original, but presenting the popular conception of their respective characters in a few well-chosen words calculated to make a permanent impression.

PALL MALL GAZETTE. 'The period selected is a good one for the purpose, and it has fallen into able hands. The Author disclaims originality of research, but he has chosen his authorities with great judgment, and the result of his labours is very satisfactory. The causes which led to the great War of the Spanish Succession are very clearly explained, and the campaigns of MARLBOROUGH are admirably related. The literature of this reign is very important, and one of the best chapters is that devoted to this interesting subject. The social

life of the nation is not forgotten, and the whole reign is illustrated by seven excellent maps.' SCHOOLMASTER.

The plan of the series of Epochs of Modern History has been in no former volume more faithfully carried out than in the Age of

Anne. In not one of the new set have the advantages of this mode of presenting history for study been more happily demonstrated. This is a good opportunity for explaining, by means of the example before us, for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the Epochs, how these miniature histories are constructed....A little time spent over this volume is sufficient to satisfy any teacher of history that the way in which to convey an adequate picture of the reign of ANNE is to combine it with the story of Europe during the time that the Queen occupied the throne.
