ROUTLEDGE'S CHEAP SERIES (GEORGE ROUTLEDGE & CO.)
Series Note: "This valuable Series now contains upward of 170 volumes. They form a complete library of instructive, useful and entertaining knowledge. Each work is sold separately, at prices varying from One to Two Shillings, and many of them are illustrated. They are admirably adapted for all Mechanics' Institutes, Soldiers' and Sailors' Libraries, or Village Book Clubs, and for all kinds of popular instruction. They embrace the Works of our best authors in the various departments of Biography, History, Fiction, &c.; and Books that formerly cost pounds may now be obtained for shillings.
No family ought to be without this Library, as it furnished the readiest resources for that education which ought to accompany or succeed that of the boarding-school or academy, and it is infinitely more conducive than either to the cultivation of the intellect and the well-being of society."
