(Covers to) (Untitled Atlas of 12 Outline and Keyed Maps).
List No
3562.001
Note
12 beautifully engraved outline maps with no title, engraver, or date. The first map is a generic landform map, then follow maps of the World, North America, United States, South America, Europe, England, Scotland, Ireland, Asia, Africa, and Pennsylvania. The maps are labeled A through M, with J lacking, perhaps as issued (there is no sign of a map missing). The fact that Pennsylvania is the only state map present, to us it indicates a Philadelphia publisher. Melish and Carey are the likely ones, but it could have been Scott, or? In any event, the quality of the maps matches anything made in London at that time. With paper covered boards and quarter leather.

List No

Note
The last edition of Melish's map of the United States, first published in 1816, and the 25th state identified by Martin/Ristow. This edition has the three additional sheets at the bottom of the map (added in the second state of the 1822 edition) that expand the coverage of Mexico and the West Indies. Compared to the first 1816 edition, there are many changes in the Great Plains area of the U.S. (that first appeared in the 1822 edition) based on Long's Map of 1822 (although Melish does not mention Long in his preface to the Geographical Description edition of 1822). Ristow (A la Carte) says there are no changes between between the 1823 edition and the second state of the 1822 edition, other than the change in publisher and date. Outline color by state or territory. The map is dissected into 50 sections, backed with linen, and edged in white silk. It folds into a new dark blue cloth folding case 25x17 with black ties; the spine is embossed with "Map Of The United States. John Melish. 1823" in gold.
