Mr. Henty here gives an account of the struggle between Britain and France for supremacy in the North American continent. The fall of Quebec decided that the Anglo-Saxon race should predominate in the New World; and that English and American commerce, the English language, and English literature, should spread right round the globe.A copy in fair condition. Bumps/scuffs/stains to boards. Some light foxing. Netting exposed at the front but binding holds. All plates present. Undated but believed to be C. 1887, potentially a first edition.
