Note 2nd (and best) edition, first with Tanner's Map of the Canals and Railroads of the United States. The map is copyright 1830. The book lists over 150 canals and navigation improvements in great detail. The map shows the most important canals and two railroads in operation, and one proposed railroad (the Great Western Railroad, from New York to the Mississippi River)plus two others. The canals and railroad lines are in color. The first edition appeared in 1826 with 10 maps but without the Tanner map (see our copy #4214). Tanner in 1834 and 1840 (see our copies, #2655 and #979) published a book on Canals and Railroads that uses the same map, updated. Modelski lists the 1834 Tanner map as "one of the earliest general maps of the eastern United States showing railroads in operation." Since this 1830 copy is an earlier state of the same map, it probably qualifies as the true "first." Two folding plates of profiles of canals and railroads at the back. Not in Streeter, Eberstadt, or Graff. Bound in half leather boards with "A Connected View" on the spine.

List No 2766.001
Note This is a major revision of the guide with an entirely new map by Ira S. Drake (about whom we find nothing) with five inset maps entitled - "Vicinity Of Niagara Falls", "Map Of The Copper Mine Region", "Map of the Gold and Quicksilver district of California", "Map of the Maritime and Overland Routes to California", and "Map Of New England Or Eastern States". The map emphasis on the California gold rush is clear, although the 128 pages of expanded text do not yet list routes to the gold fields, while they do add routes west from St. Louis and Independence. The main map is larger than the earlier Mitchell/Young maps, but shows roughly the same area on a somewhat larger scale. An "Advertisement" (actually a preface) dated Nov. 1, 1848, states: "The following work is similar in design to 'Mitchell's Traveller's Guide,' first published about twelve years ago, and which has been so extremely patronized, that it may be safely asserted no book of the kind ever printed in this country has met with so wide a circulation." Covers are black stamped leather with "Mitchell's New Traveller's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat and train stamped in gilt. Map is outline color. Catalogue of Thomas, Cowperthwait School Books included in the text.

Note 1st edition. This guide is scarcer than Mitchell's Traveller's Guide. The outline color map is very similar to the Traveller's Guide Map - it is probably from the same plate, but covers slightly more area, has eight inset maps (the Traveller's map drops the Hartford /New Haven inset and adds two - Niagara Falls and New Orleans) instead of nine, and has a table of distances below the title. The 84 page text in this guide is a descriptive listing of Canals, Railroads, etc., the Traveller's Guide text functions as a route book and was certainly more generally useful and had many more editions. There was only one other edition of this Compendium, in 1838 (see our #521). The map was issued separately in 1839 (see our #4950) and a printing on silk was issued in 1835 (see our #4544). Book is bound into black leather covers with "Mitchell's Compendium Of Canals & Railroads" and a decorative border stamped in gilt. Four page catalogue of Mitchell's maps. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich.
