This is a major revision of the guide with an entirely new map by Ira S. Drake (about whom we find nothing) with five inset maps entitled - "Vicinity Of Niagara Falls", "Map Of The Copper Mine Region", "Map of the Gold and Quicksilver district of California", "Map of the Maritime and Overland Routes to California", and "Map Of New England Or Eastern States". The map emphasis on the California gold rush is clear, although the 128 pages of expanded text do not yet list routes to the gold fields, while they do add routes west from St. Louis and Independence. The main map is larger than the earlier Mitchell/Young maps, but shows roughly the same area on a somewhat larger scale. An "Advertisement" (actually a preface) dated Nov. 1, 1848, states: "The following work is similar in design to 'Mitchell's Traveller's Guide,' first published about twelve years ago, and which has been so extremely patronized, that it may be safely asserted no book of the kind ever printed in this country has met with so wide a circulation." Covers are black stamped leather with "Mitchell's New Traveller's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat and train stamped in gilt. Map is outline color. Catalogue of Thomas, Cowperthwait School Books included in the text.

1st edition. This guide is scarcer than Mitchell's Traveller's Guide. The outline color map is very similar to the Traveller's Guide Map - it is probably from the same plate, but covers slightly more area, has eight inset maps (the Traveller's map drops the Hartford /New Haven inset and adds two - Niagara Falls and New Orleans) instead of nine, and has a table of distances below the title. The 84 page text in this guide is a descriptive listing of Canals, Railroads, etc.; the Traveller's Guide text functions as a route book and was certainly more generally useful and had many more editions. There was only one other edition of this Compendium, in 1838 (see our #521). The map was issued separately in 1839 (see our #4950) and a printing on silk was issued in 1835 (see our #4544). Book is bound into black leather covers with "Mitchell's Compendium Of Canals & Railroads" and a decorative border stamped in gilt. Four page catalogue of Mitchell's maps. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich.

Hazzard to the title and compared to the 1855 issue shows several new proposed railroads, particularly in the area west of the Missouri River (possibly the proposed Pacific Railroad routes). The Mitchell/Young U.S. map is slightly different from the same map in the 1856 Universal Atlas, in its showing of the Pacific Railroad routes. Bound in dark green leather covers with "Mitchell's New Traveler's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration stamped in gilt. The two insets in the first map are titled "Gold Region Of California" and "District Of Columbia". Both maps in outline color. Prime meridians are in Washington D.C. and Greenwich.
