Later edition, likely pirated, of this children's introduction to geography and astronomy, many times reprinted and pirated. The maps are "blind" maps, with the outlines of continents, countries etc. only so children learn to find them by reading the text. Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America are covered, but not Australia or the Poles. The second part introduces children to globes and their usage, and principles of cosmography and astronomy.

Condition
Darkening to spine, wear at ends; some internal foxing and soiling, lacking the maps that should face pages 42 and 271 in the first work; good to very good.
