The book is Half-bound Morocco (goatskin) and lovely marbled boards with marbled endpapers. There is a two-page colored map frontis showing the British Colonies and Northern New France 1750-1760, and several additional maps (black and white) inside. 377 pages; top edge gilt. 104 year old book which was one of a series of historical books on Colonial America by the American historian John Fiske (1842-1901), in which the author deals with the rise and fall of New France and its influences on the English colonies. A bookplate on the front free pastedown reveals it was part of the ships library of the U.S.S. Philadelphia, and blind-embossed in several places (Department of The Navy, Bureau of Equipment). Since there were at least six ships commissioned thusly,I deduce from the 1902 date inside, that this was the fourth. The book includes sections on Jacques Cartier, Exploration of the St.Lawrence, Montreal, Hochelaga, Allefonsce, contains a huge section on the beginnings of Quebec, another large section about the Acadians, Samuel De Champlain, Wilderness and Empire,,Witchcraft in Salem, The "Great War" Ticonderoga, Duquesne, etc. Full of fascinating history. Some rubbing and wear leather at corners and spine; also light rubbing to marbled paper on cover.
