The Second Book of History, Including The Modern History of Europe, Africa, and Asia

"Designed as a Sequel to the 'First Book of History, by the Author of Peter Parley's Tales.'" Charles J. Hendee, 1836.

This is fairly common but often sought after school book, first published in 1832. It is a sequel to "First Book of History, by the Author of Peter Parley's Tales" which was for younger students. It went through at least 30 or 40 editions before 1850, which in this case meant printings and often there was little to differ between editions. These images are from the Eleventh Edition , copyright 1835 and printed in 1836.
