Pub Title: 
Kirkwood's General Atlas ... Constructed from the best Authorities extant. Published as the Act directs by Robt. Kirkwood, Engraver, Edinburgh, John Smith & Son, Booksellers, Glasgow, & Wm. Faden, London. 1817. (title page) R. Kirkwood Script. & Sculpt.
Pub Reference: 
None found; not in Phillips.
Pub Note: 
Rare atlas, also pub. by Wm. Faden & John Smith. Kirkwood engraved some of the maps for Thomson's General Atlas (Edinburgh, 1817), but we can find no record of this atlas in Phillips, Tooley, Jolly (1983-92) or anywhere else - except for a record of a sale in the Map Collector #42. Kirkwood used A. Arrowsmith's maps from Pinkerton's Geography as a base, and enlarged and filled in detail where he could. The result is striking: these maps are more than twice the size of Arrowsmith's and often carry considerably more detail. Outline color.
