A very pretty copy of this scarce book that was given as a First Prize to a child in the Elementary School of Kelvinside Academy in the 1881-1882 session. There is the prize presentation plate on the FEP. There is a little damage to the front of the spine, the top 6cm has cracked from the front board from wear and tear. Nothing appears to be missing and it is still well attached. There is minor crushing to both ends of the spine. The front board has a gilt title and black embossed patterning, the spine again has the title in gilt and the back board has the school logo in gilt. There are a few delightful illustrations and maps. All edges in gilt. Indexed. xi, 318pp. The child it was given to either loved it and looked after it well, or never really opened it! This book describes, using the information and the details available at the time, the colonisation of the coast of North America by the English. The chapters include: the American argonauts, the first English planters, John Smith, the Pilgrim Fathers, the early settlers of New England and the American Colonies. …
