Book of Nations, for Children

Excerpt from Book:

The Spaniards live in Spain. They are tall, and thin, with dark complexions. The men shave their beards, but leave mustachios on their upper lip. The gentlemen pay great regard to the ladies, and it is common for a gentleman to approach a lady with his knees bended, kissing her hands.

The Indians are the people that inhabited this country before the white people came here. They are of a copper color, with long black hair and small eyes. They wear but little clothing and live in small huts.
