The Geographical Grammar

Geography Anatomiz'd: or, the Geographical Grammar: Being a short and Exact Analysis of the whole Body of Modern Geography, After a New and Curious Method.

The Geographical Grammar is a geography textbook that was published in 1744, when America was full of heathen savages and political correctness was unimagined.

Reading The Geographical Grammar today is really quite entertaining, and there cannot be many copies left in existence, so I am gradually transcribing it here.

Here are some countries.

And here are a couple of photographed pages.
