THE object of this Work is to afford useful and entertaining knowledge, not only to youth, but also to those more advanced in years, and who may not have the means to procure, or leisure to peruse more elaborate works. The desire, and constant aim of the Editor will be to render this little publication popular and instructive to every class of readers-a work that the parent may with perfect safety place in the hands of his child-or the tutor present to his deserving pupil as the reward of merit. As a volume it shall not be unworthy a place in the Family Library. CONDITIONS. 1.
