SKETCHES OF POPULAR TUMULTS; illustrative of the Evils of Social Ignorance. Second Edition. 5_s._ cloth.
To supply a manifest deficiency in the books already published for the education of the industrial classes, the Publishers have undertaken a series of works, (which will be brought out at the cheapest rate,) whose chief object is to prepare young persons for the choice of an occupation, by instructing them in the peculiar duties, and, as far as requisite, in the technical details of the various departments of SERVICE OR TRADE in which they are likely to be engaged as they advance in life. It is, of course, not contemplated herein to teach every thing that should be known in a Trade, or to point out the whole details of a Service,--but to give such a general knowledge of the occupations which the mass of the people are called upon to follow, as may prepare the young for the proper discharge of their duties, and systematize much of the practical information which the adult has now in most cases, to learn without a Guide. These works will, collectively, contain a mass of authentic and amusing information on the various departments of industry in this country, which will be useful and interesting to all readers.
They will be illustrated with numerous explanatory wood cuts. The subjects to be embraced will, for the most part, be as follows:-- I--THE GUIDE TO SERVICE.
