Greece and Rome", pp. 438 in the 1887 version. Middlemarch by George Eliot (1871–1872) Rose Turquand. A Novel. by Ellice Hopkins (1876), "From that moment, Rose's life was a hard one. Mademoiselle was possessed with but one idea – to make up for lost time, and work her up to the level of her other pupils. Pages of Mangnall's Questions were set her, which did not interest her; pages of dry geography, endless lists of names to which she attached no meaning; pages of grammar which she did not understand." The Wouldbegoods by Edith Nesbit (1901), "No one but that kind of black, beady, tight lady would say 'little boys'. She is like Miss Murdstone in David Copperfield. I should like to tell her so; but she would not understand. I don't suppose she has ever read anything but Markham's History and Mangnall's Questions – improving books like that." A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, by James Joyce (1916), satire, "some great person whose head was in the books of history... Those were the great men whose names were in Richmal Magnall's Questions. History was all about those men and what they did and that was what Peter Parley's Tales about Greece and Rome were all about."
