| Note |
J.C. French's subscription book, Cambridge, Mass. Jared Sparks (President of Harvard) is the first subscriber, followed by C.S. Cartee, and other eminent men. This book reveals that the Atlas was published in 27 parts starting in 1854, and was still available in parts in 1855 (see news articles in rear). Prices, bindings, coloring detailed. Apparently the atlas was only available by subscription in 1854, 55, 56, and part of 57. The list ends in 1857, perhaps indicating that the marketing changed, or that Mr. French went on to other pursuits. Book bound in full red leather with "Colton's Atlas" in gilt on cover. |

| Note |
Early 1855 edition. The Arkansas map has steamboat routes across the top. The Texas map is undated. New Jersey is dated 1854. See the late 1855 edition - further evidence that Mitchell updated the atlas at least twice a year. This copy belonged to Judah Chase (with his name gold stamped on the cover) who was a noted Blue Hill, Maine, Sea Captain and owner of the Brig Thomas M. Lyon. This ship sailed from Havre, France, at the end of March, 1836, and sank in a heavy gale off the Island of Jersey - but the crew was saved. The fine condition of this atlas suggests that it remained in Captain Chase's library and never went to sea. Maps are in full color. Bound in half leather dark green cloth covered boards with "Mitchell's Universal Atlas. Judah Chase." stamped in gold on the front label. |

| Note |
Early 1855 edition. The Arkansas map has steamboat routes across the top. The Texas map is undated. New Jersey is dated 1854. See the late 1855 edition - further evidence that Mitchell updated the atlas at least twice a year. This copy belonged to Judah Chase (with his name gold stamped on the cover) who was a noted Blue Hill, Maine, Sea Captain and owner of the Brig Thomas M. Lyon. This ship sailed from Havre, France, at the end of March, 1836, and sank in a heavy gale off the Island of Jersey - but the crew was saved. The fine condition of this atlas suggests that it remained in Captain Chase's library and never went to sea. Maps are in full color. Bound in half leather dark green cloth covered boards with "Mitchell's Universal Atlas. Judah Chase." stamped in gold on the front label. |
