Written in a Q&A style, making it easy for children to absorb historical facts, this booklet covers events from the foundation of the various Grecian states up to the mid-19th century.  It reflects Victorian-era interest in classical antiquity and covers events such as the Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, and the rise of Athens and Sparta.  Illustrated with wood cuts.  Paper covers.  72 pages.  In poor condition with obvious wear to the cover and the title page and final page missing. Nevertheless, the main body of the text is present and in clean condition.  A scarce classroom survival.  Cat No A281
