Note:
Very rare. This little school atlas is the beginning of a long run: next comes the Carey and Lea "Juvenile atlas or a series of maps to illustrate the Old and New Worlds", 1822 (Bill Mayer has only copy we have seen), then Carey & Lea's 1825 edition of this atlas, then the Key edition and the Hunt edition of the "Cabinet atlas" of 1830 with 28 maps added, then C.S. Williams "A new general atlas" of 1832 and finally the Andrus and Judd 1833 "New general atlas." All have the U.S. map engraved by J.G. Melish, son of John Melish (see Ristow, Am. Maps and Mapmakers) and the other thirteen maps that appear first in this 1820 School Atlas. Maps in outline color. Cover title. Publisher's advertisement on back cover.
