Thomas Salmon’s first edition of <i>New Universal Geographical and Historical Grammar</i> was published in 1749. This edition isn’t dated, but since it was still dedicated to King George the Third, it was likely published before his death in 1820. The book contained a description of the shape and motion of the Earth, with descriptions of each continent, its rulers, and its main geographic features. Early New England education was focused around textbooks like the <i>New Universal Geographical and Historical Grammar</i>, which was very successful with . over ten editions printed.
