New York: D. Appleton and Co., 1864. First published in 1857, this history by George Payne Quackenbos (1826-1881) went to several editions. This is a very Good copy of a reprint from seven years later, part of a series of school primers in various subjects. Green cloth binding with black spine that is stamped nicely with gilt lettering. Clean text; 460 pages, plus a twenty-page addenda containing Delaration of Independence, Constitution, and a Chronological Record; followed by eight pages of publisher's adverts. The endpapers are slso ads, and another ad, for an English grammar, has been tipped-in. There are numerous illustrations, in both black-and-white and colour. The rear endpaper has a contemporary previous-owner signature. Scuffs and soiling, but still a sturdy volume, and fascinating due to its publication during the American Civil War.. Reprint Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
