Note: 
First edition, second state. See notes to the first edition, first state. This probably appeared in late 1854. In addition to the map changes already noted, this copy has an advertisement inside front cover for Colton's maps that is different from the first state copy's advertisement -- it mentions the coming publication of the National Atlas, the American Atlas, and the Atlas of the World -- none of which are mentioned in the earlier state's advertisement. Map is full color by state, folded into brown cloth covers 15x9 with "Nebraska and Kansas" stamped in gilt. Relief shown by hachures.
