Note
A rare guide that precedes the author's "The American Traveler" by three years (see our #2943). With a large folding map of the United States engraved by J.D. Stout; the same map appears in Picket's "Geographical Grammar" of 1817 (see our copy). This is a somewhat crude version of the more polished guide of 1825. It begins with a short general discussion of geographical principals and then lists the major roads and routes in the U.S. There is also a large fold out chart "General View of The World" which describes the topographical features of the continents. In the "Concluding Remarks" the author states "It is a long time since I had it in view to publish a little thing of this kind...but a roving destiny has since that time carried me to the banks of the St. Lawrence, and the plains of Georgia...In the next Edition corrections and enlargements will be made...so as to render it, if possible, worthy of the attention of this, our Nation of Travellers." Covers are plain gray blue paper 17.5x11 with orange binding.
