Description: THE FIRST BOOK OF HISTORY, COMBINED WITH GEOGRAPHY; Containing the History and Geography of The Western Hemisphere. For the Use of Schools. By the author of Peter Parley’s Tales (Samuel Goodrich). Published by Hickling, Swan and Brewer, Boston. Copyright 1852. This is a “Revised and Improved Edition” printed in 1859. “Illustrated by Engravings and Colored Maps.” There are 25 (7 1/8” x 5”) hand colored maps that are in excellent condition. I believe I have included pics of all. From Wikipedia: Samuel Griswold Goodrich (August 19, 1793 – May 9, 1860), better known under his pseudonym Peter Parley, was an American author. Goodrich was associated with his brother Charles A. Goodrich in writing books for the young. His series, beginning in 1827 under the name of Peter Parley, embraced geography, biography, history, science and miscellaneous tales. Of these he was the sole author of only a few, but in 1857 he wrote that he was the author and editor of about 170 volumes, and that about seven millions had been sold. An English writer, George Mogridge, also used the name Peter Parley, raising objections from Goodrich, who had the prior claim. DESCRIPTION: 296 pages 7 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches revised edition hardcover CONDITION: This hard-cover book is in very good condition with some restoration. This book originally had brown cloth covered boards (as opposed to the printed paper covered board many other copies of this book have). The cloth was very deteriorated so I removed it and covered the original boards with very similar (it is nearly identical) cloth. The book is otherwise completely original. The original spine leather was in excellent condition—it needed only some black dye to cover insignificant scuffing and leather dressing. The binding was still quite strong. The interior is rather heavily foxed, but there are no names, marks, underlining, tears or unpleasant odor. The paper is foxed and toned with age. The hinges and binding are excellent with no loose or missing pages. The maps are cleaner and less foxed than the text pages.
