Friday. Elizabeth, 1558. Henry VII. was the son of Edmund, Earl of Richmond, and Margaret Beaufort, a descendant of John of Gaunt, third son of Edward III. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV., and thus united the houses of York and Lancaster. His children were Arthur, Prince of Wales; Henry, afterwards Henry VIII.; Margaret, who married James IV. of Scotland; and Mary, who married Louis XII. of France. Henry's title to the crown was weak, and for many years he was occupied in defending it against rivals, of whom Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck were the chief. 1. Lambert Simnel.-Lambert was a poor baker's boy, but was persuaded by a priest, named Simon, to pretend that he was the Earl of Warwick, whom Henry had imprisoned in the Tower, because his title to the throne was stronger than his own. Simnel was acknowledged king of Ireland, but, on landing in England, Henry defeated him at Stoke, Nottinghamshire, and, taking him prisoner, made him a servant in his kitchen. LEARN AND WRITE ASIA. GEOGRAPHY. ASIA, the largest of the great divisions of the globe, contains an area of over 17 million square miles, and is, therefore, more than four times the size of Europe. It is bounded on the North by the Arctic Ocean; on the East by the Pacific Ocean; on the South by the Indian Ocean; and on the West by the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Oural Mountains. It is united to Africa by the Isthmus of Suez, through which, however, a canal has just been completed for the passage of ships into the Red Sea, and thence into the Indian Ocean; and is separated from America by Behring's Straits, which are about 36 miles across. Its population has been estimated as high as 700 millions. Put meanings to the following words :-Indolence, faculties, recreation, enveloped, extinguished, ruminate, disposition, mutual, accumulation, inculcates, substitutes, gravity. Words derived from Latin roots :-Necto, nexus, I tie. con-nect', to tie together, to unite. | an-nex', to tie to, to add. Nego, I deny. ne-ga'-tion, saying no, a denial. | ren'-e-gade, one who denies his principles. Niveo, 1 wink. con-nive', to wink at a fault. | con-ni'-vance, winking at a fault. Every sentence must contain a Subject and Predicate. A combination of words, not containing these, is called a Phrase. If the Predicate is a Transitive verb, it is always followed by a noun, or some word used as a noun, in the Objective case, called its Object, as Subject. Predicate.
