This is the fourth edition of the 1834 Brue map showing Jedidiah Smith's routes in the west. Although Picquet says this 1839 edition is augmented from the 1834, I can find no changes between the two. Wheat calls the 1834 edition "one of the foundation stones of western mapping history." Jedidiah Smith's geography in the Great Basin and California is shown, based on a letter of Smith describing his journeys published in the Nouvelles Annales de Voyages, Paris 1828 (Wheat). Two insets show the environs of Mexico City and Vera Cruz, and the Yucatan. Texas is still shown as a part of Mexico. Under the title Picquet has added his name as publisher; Picquet acquired all Brue's maps from his widow in 1835. There was a second edition in 1835, and a third in 1837. Wheat does not mention this fourth edition. Map is hand painted in outline color, dissected into 21 sections and mounted on linen. Map folds into loose marbled paper wrappers and then into a marbled paper covered slip case with a red label stamped with "Mexique" in gilt.

Greenough first published this map in 1820, then this second edition in 1839, and a 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 this second edition and to the 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. 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.

Timeline atlas of world history. Compiled by Russian historian and State Council Alexander Wagner. Permission was granted on the 27 of June 1839, by the censor P. Korsakov in Saint Petersburg. The timeline runs from 5508 BC to 1839 AD. Wagner has broken up world history into three eras :The world of antiquity, 5508 BC-476 AD; The Middle Ages, 476-1499; New or modern world. Wagner connected separate sections that were related by civilization by matching colors and by stretching out the characters of the name of the civilizations over numerous sections. The map is one of the most detailed timelines of its type that appeared in mid-19th century.

1839 double hemisphere outline color map of the world, 47x94, dissected into 12 sections, mounted on linen, folded into 23.5x15.5. Map by James Gilbert, drawn and engraved by Joshua Archer. Includes notes and insets of comparative charts of mountains and rivers. Countries are differentiated by color, cities are labeled, as well as locations along all the coastlines, rivers, lakes, and mountain ranges. Routes followed by several explorers, including Captains Gores and Cook are shown. The extension of the northern border of the United States depicted well into modern day British Columbia. Texas shown separately as the Republic of Texas. The Republic of Texas had only been declared in 1836 and, it was not officially recognized by most European powers. Gilbert's addition of the republic as such both suggests that he may have been a Texas advocate and that he was embracing the most advanced cartographic information available. Joshua Archer was born at Barnstaple in Devon, was an English cartographer, copperplate printer, and engraver active in London.

List No
7634.000
Note
An extremely rare map of Arkansas and the earliest large format map of the state, published less than 3 years after its admission to the Union on June 15, 1836. Tanner's map depicts the new state divided by the Survey of Public Lands into the "Lawrence," "Arkansas," "Fayetteville," and "Red River" Districts and further subdivided into its 30 original counties. The familiar grid of townships and sections imposed by the Survey of Public Lands dominates the mapthis closely matches a Map of Arkansas Surveying District published by the General Land Office later in 1839 and is evidence that Tanner used the most up-to-date sources. Overall, Arkansas settlement was strikingly sparse at this early date, with the total population still under 100,000 and heavily concentrated in the eastern counties. Of particular interest are Miller and Lafayette Counties in the far southwest, at the time the subject of a territorial dispute with the then-independent Republic of Texas. Here they are assigned a somewhat ambiguous status, depicted within Arkansas' borders but not included in the Arkansas Survey District. All of Miller was ceded to Texas when it became a state in 1845, but the county was later reconstituted from the western portion of Lafayette County. Hand colored map. Includes notes and legend. Shows state, county, township, and district boundaries, railroads and roads,Trails, canals, rivers, and topographical features such as prairies and swamps. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Washington.
