Pub Note:
Scarce map of the United States west to 27 degrees from Washington. Predates Tanner's 1829 Map of the United States. Contemporary with Lay, but a much more ambitious production. With a large inset Map of North America (the same map that appeared in the 1826 Finley American Atlas), a list of the Principal Steamboat Routes, a Statistical Table of the United States, and an illustration showing the Comparative Elevation of the Principal Mountains and Hills in the United States. This map was advertised in the 1824 General Atlas by Anthony Finley. The country west of the Mississippi is clearly derived from Long's map of 1822. There are curious and indecipherable lines and small white squares (contemporary?) on the upper part of the map. Full color by county, with dark orange silk edging. Map is dissected into 40 sections, folds into marbled end sheets and lies in half leather marbled covers 29.5x22 with "Map Of The U. States. Philadelphia 1825."; the original map and covers lie in maroon cloth folding covers which slip in a slip case 31x23 with a leather label reading "Vance. Map Of U.S. 1825" on the spine.
