Ristow mentions two editions with the same title, date and imprint, and with the later edition having "a number of changes and additions... in the southern Alabama portion of the map." We believe this copy is the first edition as we can detect no plate changes in the areas mentioned. This is the first large scale map of Georgia and it ranks in importance with the other large Southern State and Territory maps of the period: Wilson's South Carolina of 1822, Madison's Virginia of 1807 and 1818, Price and Strothers' North Carolina of 1808, and Vignoles' Florida of 1823. While it was undoubtedly the most accurate Georgia map when published, it quickly came under criticism by Tanner in his Geographical Memoir of 1823 for his American Atlas - he found the delineation of the Savannah River to be more correct in the Wilson 1822 Map of South Carolina. It has a lovely cartouche vignette, a table of distances, a statistical table, and "Remarks, Statistical and Geological." Streeter: "All in all an important and elaborate map of Georgia in the first part of the nineteenth century." Full color by county, without rollers.

"Large and detailed map of Japan and the northeast coast of Asia.This map is a fine example of Arrowsmith's relentless updating of his maps. First issued in 1811, the map shows the tracks of some of the most important naval expeditions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, which charted the waters around Japan, Korea, North East China, and Russia's Pacific coast. These include those made by La Perouse (1787); HMS 'Hindostan' which carried Lord George Macartney on his embassy to China; Broughton in HMS 'Providence' (1797); and the "track of the Russian's in 1805" - Admiral Krusenstern, who led the first Russian circumnavigation. For this 1818 edition Arrowsmith has also added the the track of HMS 'Alceste', and HC Ship 'Discovery' which, made several voyages around the Yellow Sea in 1816. Arrowsmith most probably drew upon the surgeon aboard the 'Alceste', John McCloed, and his book 'A narrative of a Voyage to the Yellow Sea' (1818), for the most up-to-date information."

The Zeno map purports to illustrate the voyages of the author's ancestor and his brother at the end of the 14th century, first appeared in Venice in the year 1558 as a part of a small book that contained accounts of voyages in the North Atlantic and westward to the shores of America. It is, however, a fictitious map based upon Olaus Magnus's Carta marina, along with other 16th century maps, and was probably created to give Venice, the author's native city, the credit for discovering America more than a century ahead of Columbus. Estotiland (said to be inhabited by people of European lineage, but having its own language; it is perhaps Labrador) and Drogeo (perhaps Newfoundland) on this map appear to represent the eastern coast of America. Frisland, originally referred to Iceland, but was added along with Iceland on this map. It appeared on subsequent maps for the next hundred years. It may refer to the Faroe Islands. The meridians are marked.
