Pub Note:
13 complete parts of 15 parts issued between 1833 and 1836. In the original blue printed wrappers. Has two of the three maps (France and Spain/Portugal, but not England) that Tanner instructs the binder to throw out in favor of larger versions published later in the series. Includes the important part number 15 which has the title page, author's notice, table of contents, index, and notice to the binder. It is unusual to find this atlas in the original parts, unbound. However,this was representative of how these maps were typically sold, rather than in a single bound set. Relief shown in hachures.
