Tanner's publications in rear - lists the Universal Atlas.

The nine original parts of four colored maps each, in illustrated printed wrappers, of Morse's North American Atlas. Each part is dated 1845, so we assume they were all issued in that year, one or two a month. The "Plan of Publication" on the front wrapper of each part calls for ten numbers, but only nine were issued. The wraps are decorated with a palm tree, fir tree, bear, giraffe, and four seals for each of the continents. The cheap price of the product is stressed: "Each number will contain four coloured Maps, the price of which will be twenty five cents, being about one fourth the cost of copper plate Maps of similar size." After publication of the parts, Morse also issued the complete atlas bound (see our #2301). This nine part issue is to be distinguished from the earlier three part issue of 32 uncolored maps as supplements to the New York Observer (see our #4180). This copy with the signature and ms index of Robert Rantoul of Beverly, Massachusetts, noted lawyer and reformer. Printed full color. This copy is folded into green cloth covered boards which slips into a quarter leather green cloth covered folio box titled "Morse's North American Atlas - 9 Original Parts - New York, 1845" in gold along the spine.
