"What a treasure in a country house must not such an Encyclopaedia of
amusing knowledge afford, when the series has grown to a few volumes.
Not only an Encyclopaedia of amusing and useful knowledge, but that
which will give to memory a chronological chart of our acquisition of
information. This admirable idea is well followed out in the little
volume in our hands. The notiore are all clear, full, and satisfactory,
and the engravings with which the volume is embellished are every way
worthy of the literary part of the work."--_Standard_.

"The work is well done, and deserves notice as a striking memorial of
the chief occurrences of 1850."--_Atlas_.

"Books such as this are, and will be, the landmarks of social,
scientific, mechanical, and moral progress; it extends to nearly four
hundred pages of well-condensed matter, illustrated with numerous
excellently engraved wood blocks."--_Advertiser_.
