19th Century World Maps(1840's) and Geography/Google Books

This old Geography book is useful in sections, mostly for the maps. Look how different Europe was in the 1840's. If you are doing a study of this time period, there are some nice maps in An Easy Introduction to Geography, published in 1840. There is coverage of other areas which can be still be used such as early American History.

Download Help from a Download Manager

I have dial-up which may be the reason that I have trouble downloading book from Google, although I've not had this problem elsewhere. The other day, I stumbled upon a free download manager, and for the first time was able to download books off Google.

If you've had similar problems, you might want to try a download manager. It pauses and saves, which is especially good for dial-up so when you lose your connection you aren't having to begin again. It save the portion you have downloaded before you lost you connection, and resumes after you re-connect.
