"A truly _comprehensive_ compendium of geographical and historical information, judiciously blended, has been heretofore a great desideratum. _Mr. Pinnock's_ name has for many years been a standard warranty to school books; and this, his last labor, fully sustains his established reputation. It is a very comprehensive condensation of all which is necessary in teaching the important science of geography. The statistical details of countries are pleasantly relieved by a series of admirable _historical memoranda_, which bear evidence of fidelity and a deep research. We are surprised, in looking through the book, to observe what a vast quantity of instruction is comprised in its 446 pages."--_Sunday Times._
"We have just now before us a handsome and compact little volume, 'got up' with great care, taste, and judgment: '_A Grammar of Modern Geography and History_.' The quantity of really useful information that it contains is astonishing."--_La Belle Assemblee._
"To _Mr. Pinnock_ belongs the merit of inventing those Catechisms of Science and General Knowledge, which even a Lord Chancellor condescended to read and to praise. Nothing more is necessary to be said to recommend his book in every quarter."--_London Magazine._
"_Grammar of Geography and History._--Every person engaged in the education of children, will be much pleased to turn over the pages of one of the best, because most simplified, and at the same time compendious works on geography that has ever yet appeared. The name of _Pinnock_ stands at the head of modern pioneers in the march of Juvenile Intellect; and the present volume is another exhibition of his meritorious industry. It is announced among our advertisements, and we are sure that our readers will be thankful for thus having specially directed their attention to so useful, elegant, and withal _very cheap_ a publication."--_Taunton Courier._
"_Pinnock's Modern Geography._--We call the attention of our readers, and more especially the heads of seminaries, to a useful, splendid, and _singularly cheap_ work, just published by _Poole & Edwards_, entitled '_A Comprehensive Grammar of Modern Geography and History._' Without any exception, it is the best book of the sort hitherto published."--_Windsor Herald._
