Title: A Practical System of Modern Geography, or, A View of the Present State of the World...
Author: Olney, J.
Publication: Hartford: Published by D.F. Robinson & Co., 1829.
Description: Third edition of this geography text for the young reader. The book presents manners, customs, and other features of peoples around the world, as understood from a 19th-century American perspective - that is to say, stereotypical in parts. Illustrated with wood engravings on title page, frontispiece, and throughout the text. In original publisher's binding of quarter leather and printed paper over boards, with a publisher's advertisement for "The Symbolical Primer" on the rear cover, and gilt lettering and tooling on the spine. 268 pages; 6 x 3.75 inches; 1-21^6, 22^8. Early owners' signatures on the front free endpaper; doodles and foxing throughout; rubbing to the covers with some loss to the leather surface of the spine, but structurally sound. Very Good-.
