Published in 1954 by Clarke, Irwin & Co, this book was written as a history textbook, intended for "the intermediate grades of the elementary schools". The book focused on the history of European discovery and colonization of the rest of the world and is divided into seven sections: "The Road to Cathay", chiefly about Marco Polo; "To the New World", chiefly about Christopher Columbus "Around the World", chiefly about Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, and Sir Francis Drake; "Discoveries in the South Seas", chiefly about Captain James Cook; "Light on the Dark Continent", chiefly about David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley; "The Search for the North-West Passage", chiefly about Sir John Franklin; and "To the Ends of the Earth," which focused on Arctic and Antarctic exploration, and the mountain climbing exploits of Sir Edmund Hillary. The book was also well furnished with maps, including a series in which areas of the world were progressively revealed from being obscured with brown ink, showing the different areas of the world that Europeans had explored. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering and decoration to front and gilt lettering to spine. Cloth somewhat grubby. No DJ. Map illustrated endpapers. Dedication to flyleaf. Text block good, pages clear and bright. 382 pp
