*See Hume, Giraldus Cambrensis, The Monk of Croyland, and Pinnock's Catechism. Ah, where was Wilfrid of Ivanhoe, the unconquerable champion, to defend the castle against the royal party? A few thrusts from his lance would have spitted the leading warriors of the King's host: a few cuts from his sword would have put John's forces to rout.
The thought of Mark and of his love for her healed her wound. "A precious deal," Mamma said, "you know about Mark." Mamma was safe. Oh, she was safe. She knew that Mark loved her best. On the cover of Pinnock's Catechism there was a small black picture of the Parthenon. And under it was written: "Abode of gods whose shrines no longer burn." Supposing the candles in St.
Pinnock's book is excellent, and the historical memoranda, which follow the account of each country, are highly interesting, and tend to enliven the study of geography, while they furnish a fund of instruction to the learner. "On the whole, this multum in parvo, for such it pre-eminently is, is calculated to become a universal instructer in the knowledge of the earth.
"Goldsmith's Histories of Greece and Rome are miserable performances, and I do not at all like to lay out 50 pounds on them, even after they have received all Mr. Pinnock's improvements. I must own too, that I think the order for globes and other instruments unnecessarily large.
Edwin Williams, whose "Annual Register" and "Universal Gazetteer" are so favorably known to the public, has recently issued revised and enlarged from the London edition, and adapted to the use of Academies and Schools in the United States Pinnock's celebrated Modern Geography.

The "call" came from Dickens. "Pickwick" was brought into the house.

He just man-aged to struggle as far as Farmer Pinnock's pond, and then, waving the sack round his 'ead, 'e flung it into the middle of it, and fell down gasping for breath. "Got you this time Bob Pretty," ses one o' the men, as they came up. "Wot Mr.
"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.
"Look here, do me a favour. They're dead, both of them. Don't say anything more about them. Don't mention the subject again. For God's sake." He went out of the house and got his bicycle and set out for the office. At the top of the Green he passed young Pinnock, the son of Pinnock's Stores. Some patch of colour about young Pinnock caught his eye. He looked again.
Pinnock's work: suffice it, that its title is fully answered in the compilation, and that it is, in our judgment, eminently calculated to supersede the use of those elementary geographical works in present use, which, however useful they may be, are utterly poor and meagre when compared to this.
