Boards with light wear to extremities. Endpapers browned. Former owner's name on several front pages. ; Many a photo and copious information on the history and then-current living in Madeira highlight this volume. "The book reads well, the illustrations are numerous and good, but poorly placed in the text. The volume as a whole is a popular tale, told from a good knowledge of facts of geography, history and present life. The story is well told, but would have been more effectively presented if a more adequate map had been included." Dodge, R. E. (1910). [Review of A Junior Course of Comparative Geography, by P. H. L Estrange]. Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, 42(2) , 135 136.; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xvi, 216 pages. Seller Inventory # 20843
