Pub Note:
3rd edition, 1833 (early), maps dated variously, title page dated 1825. Like P1376, except only Illinois & Missouri is dated 1833. Florida is later than the 1825 edition, but is dated 1823. Louisiana & Mississippi and Georgia & Alabama are dated 1825. Compared to the 1825 edition, 2 maps are later, 8 maps are the same, and 8 maps are earlier; compared to the 1823 edition, 8 maps are later, 8 maps are the same, and 2 maps are earlier! This leads one to conclude that when Tanner assembled this atlas in 1833 his stock of maps was depleted and he had to use some earlier maps to complete the book. Ohio is earlier than the 1823 edition (no counties in northwest part - the counties were formed after 1820 when the land was purchased from the Indians) and South America is dated 1818 vs 1821 in the 1823 edition (P1376 also has S.A. dated 1818). Three maps (N.A., Virginia, Kentucky & Tenn) fall between the 1823 and 1825 editions. The memoir is identical to the 1825 (except for a slight change in the 5th paragraph on the first page), but the index sheet is unusual - it lists only the American maps 1-17 in two columns and does not list the World, America, Europe, Asia and Africa (which appear in that order before the other maps in the book). Covers are half leather, marbled paper covered boards with "American Atlas" stamped in gold on a leather label.
