"A Beginner's History" by William H. Mace, published by Rand McNally & Company in 1926, is a revised edition that offers an accessible introduction to history for young readers. This edition was crafted by Mace, a former Professor of History at Syracuse University, known for his contributions to educational history literature. Illustrated by Homer W. Colby, with portraits by Jacques Reich, P. R. Audibert, and B. F. Williamson, this book combines textual and visual elements to engage readers. The book was published across major cities: Chicago, New York, and London, reflecting its wide intended reach. This edition, while not the first, represents a significant revision from earlier printings, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in historical educational texts. The book's physical condition shows typical signs of age with some wear on the cover, but it remains intact, capturing the educational ethos of the early 20th century. ###
