Greenough, George Bellas, (1778-1855)
Full Title
(Covers to) A Physical and Geological Map of England and Wales By G.B. Greenough Esq. F.R.S. (on the basis of the original Map of William Smith 1815) Revised and Improved under the Superintendence of a Committee of the Geological Society of London, from the maps of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, 1836-63 and the Maps and Documents contributed by Sir R. I. Murchison, Professor Phillips, Joseph Prestwich, R. Godwin Austen, and others. July 1865.

Note
Greenough first published this map in 1820, then a second edition in 1839 (see our 10496.000), and this final third posthumous edition in 1865. Greenough drew heavily on William Smith's Geological map of England and Wales but did not credit him until the third edition. There are several differences between the Greenough and Smith maps: Greenough delineates the topography and Smith does not, and Greenough's scale is 6 miles to the inch vs Smith at 5 miles to the inch. There were also differences underlying the geology of both maps. Greenough made significant revisions to the second edition and to this final third edition. Following the publication of the first 1820 edition, there was a continuing dispute between Greenough and Smith as to Greenough's uncredited use of Smith's map.

Following the publication of the first 1820 edition, there was a continuing dispute between Greenough and Smith as to Greenough's uncredited use of Smith's map. The N.E. sheet is from a different copy as is the Index of Colours which was both pasted on the map in some copies and issued separately in others - both are present here. Although it appears that the index of colors that is pasted onto the W. Sheet of this copy is an early version of the index of colors that appears on the 1865 third edition. It does not actually represent the colors used on the map so may have been added afterwards, incorrectly. The separate sheet Index of Colours is the correct index for colors in this second edition.

(Covers to) Rand, McNally & Co.'s new geological map of Colorado. Copyright, 1879, by Rand, McNally & Co.
List No
4788A
Note
This is a very unusual map for Rand McNally to issue - geological maps were not common in their catalog and this may be the only one they published. It was probably the interest in mining that motivated publication and the inclusion of "Mineralogical References" in the map key. The main source for the geological formations was Hayden's General Geological Map of Colorado that appeared in his 1877 Atlas of Colorado. But Rand McNally's map has much more detail on towns and railroads than Hayden and is a much superior map in that respect. Ellis 82 is the 1880 edition, which was also issued without geological coloring as "Rand McNally & Co.'s New Sectional Map of Colorado." This map is in printed full color, folded into dark blue cloth covers 16.5x10 titled "Rand, McNally & Co's geological and mineralogical maps Of Colorado" in gold.
