PEEPS AT MANY LANDS
AND CITIES
EACH CONTAINING 12 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR
This series of Little Travel Books for Young People who are of an age to be interested in the countries of the world and their peoples has steadily grown on account of its wide popularity. Each book is written in a simple and very attractive style (avoiding the strings of numbers, names and places that are the unavoidable features of the school geography), and thus the child gains valuable instruction and a vivid interest in countries, great cities, and peoples through the sheer pleasure of reading and by examining the beautiful illustrations. The youthful reader becomes absorbed in descriptions of how children work and play, and in the way of living, in the various countries of the world.
The volumes are handsomely bound and splendidly illustrated in colour, and young people may now possess a series as attractive to them as Black's "Colour Books" are to the older folk.

Transcriber's Note
Sundry missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.
Both hyphenated and non-hyphenated variants of many words occur in this book. All have been retained.
The book contains many heraldic terms, derived from French, Arabic, etc.
Any illustration which interrupted a paragraph has been moved to a more convenient location, between paragraphs.
Some heraldic diagrams, which were unclear, have been repaired.
Some chapters contain many Footnotes, usually marked * and † on each page they occur. To avoid confusion, the Footnotes have been numbered sequentially within each chapter, and indented and placed below their relative paragraph.
Page 49: The Legends of the Fleur-de-Lys can be found here: (https://) travelfranceonline.com/fleur-de-lys-french-monarchys-emblem/
Page 74: 'repectively' corrected to 'respectively'.
"These represent respectively the armorial bearings...."
Page 75: Some armorial descriptions use spaced colons. These have been retained as printed.
Page 80: 'On the cover we have the figure of a Crusader in his mail armour, bearing on his breast the badge of a red cross charged upon a white field.'
The Crusader's badge would appear to be somewhere behind his shield, or perhaps under his surcoat.
