160 Seiten , 19 x 25 cm, Leinen, querformat das Erscheinungsjahr ist eine geschätzte Angabe, der Einband ist teils fleckig, Namenseintrag, die Seiten sind gebräunt, History (says the learned Herr Niemand) is the consolidation of doubtful traditions into undoubted facts. Such are the histories of dry-as-dust historians; but Mr. Moreland, in his pictorial past, reproduced from the Morning Leader, is on surer ground ; all his events are founded on fact, and all his details are stranger than fiction. The aged may learn from the book of the " Humors of History; " by its help the youngest and cleverest may unlearn many of the fallacies he knows so much about. A few grumpy, middleaged persons have suggested some inaccuracy in trifles; but their wiser eiders, and the still wiser children, will perceive an astonishing faithfulness in small things.
