The Expansion of Europe in the 18th Century by Glyndwr Williams

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good. 1966. Blanford Press. 1st Edition.

This book is a history of European enterprise in the 18th century, but enterprise outside of geographical confines of Europe whose bounds are still observed too respectfully by many history books. It has been written with conviction that the overseas activities of European settlers, traders, missionaries, and explorers, have been at least as important in the development of the modern Europe which monopolise the attention of most students of history.
