"While Mr. Hillyer was preparing this book to succeed his enormously popular 'Child's History of the World, ' he 'tried it out' on several classes of boys and girls at the Calvert School. One of his young pupils came up at the end of the course and said to him, 'I wish there were a hundred more countries in the world that you could tell us about!'
