3. THE PANTHEON, or Ancient History of the GODS of GREECE and ROME, with 12 Engravings. A new Edition. Adopted in the Charterhouse, and other principal schools, 5s.

Monthly Review for February, 1809.

The child or parent who reads the little history of Elizabeth Villiers, will, in spite of any resolution to the contrary, be touched to the heart, if not melted into tears.
