Catalogue of Messrs Blackwood and Sons' Publications Published in 1868 as a Part of The Handy Horse-Book by Maurice Hartland Mahon

This volume presents a Victorian‑era catalogue of scholarly works originally issued by a prominent publishing house in 1868. Arranged by subject, it lists multi‑volume histories, atlases, and memoirs that were popular with both academics and general readers of the time. The entries give details on format, price, and the intended audience, revealing the publishing practices of the period.

Among the highlighted titles are a sweeping account of European events from the French Revolution through Waterloo, a continuation covering Napoleon’s fall and the rise of Louis‑Napoleon, and an illustrated atlas of battles and naval actions. The list also includes biographies of notable British figures, studies of the Peninsular War, the Crimean conflict, and a multi‑part history of Greece under various foreign powers. For modern listeners, the catalogue offers a glimpse into the breadth of 19th‑century historical literature and the ways it was packaged for schools, libraries, and the curious public.
