Published in 1888, the book provides a comprehensive account of the major discoveries and advancements in geographical knowledge up until that time.
Joseph Jacobs, a prolific writer and folklorist, takes readers on a captivating journey through the ages, starting from the early explorations of ancient civilizations to the more recent expeditions of his own time. The narrative covers the exploits of renowned explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Vasco da Gama, and many others who played pivotal roles in expanding the known boundaries of the world.
The author not only recounts the tales of exploration but also delves into the motivations, challenges, and consequences of these journeys.

Jacobs' writing style is engaging, making the historical accounts accessible to a wide audience. While the book reflects the understanding and perspectives of the late 19th century, it remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of geographical exploration and the human quest for knowledge about the world.
