Description
In the words of the book's editor, Gazeteer of the World is meant to "give in as few words as possible and still have it plain, the historical and geographical facts about the different places in which he writes. He also gives biographical sketches of some of the people that live in these lands, their occupation and thriftiness. This book contains many pictures which help to show to the readers the lands through which they pass in their reading."
