Guy's general school question book : in which each question, in a regular series, is followed by its appropriate answer; not only in ancient and modern history, in which the whole is arranged in chronological order, but also in biography, geography, astronomy, heathen mythology, classical phraseology, and a great and interesting variety of miscellaneous subjects: the whole tending to enlarge the boundaries of juvenile knowledge by increasing its stores; and thus, by blending such a course of general information with sound classical or liberal learning, to raise a better superstructure of school education
