The first book of this set, The World Outlined, was published in 1878, but the final volume did not appear until several years later. Some portions of this history of ex ploration had been already prepared and written out for Americans in masterly fashion, as for instance the life of Columbus by Washington Irving, the conquests of Mexico and Peru by Prescott. These have been omitted from the present edition.
