First edition of Tanner's guide. In pocket map form, with the map and no text, as issued. Ristow says the first edition was 1834, and while that was the first issue of the enlarged guide with text, this 1825 map is from the same plate as the 1834 map and thus should be seen as the first edition of the guide. The entire lower right corner of the map is taken up with lists of "Steam Boat Routes Throughout the United States," which are keyed to letters in the map margins. In the 1834 and later editions, these lists are replaced with inset maps of U.S. cities, and the lists are given, along with added stage and railroad routes, in the body of the text. Outline color by state. In red leather covers, 13x8, gilt stamped "Traveller's Guide Through The U. States." |

This is the American Atlas map of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in transition to becoming the later more full blown canal map of 1830 (see our #3061). Several new canals are shown that do not appear on the atlas map of 1825: the Ohio Canal, Pennsylvania Canal, Union Canal, Hudson & Delaware Canal, completed and contemplated canals are shown in the Explanation, for the first time. Tanner was very interested in showing the growth of "internal improvements" in the states and the expansion of the canals of Pennsylvania in the period from 1825 to 1845 was shown progressively on a series of his maps (see also our #3942, 4551, and 4862 (1833 issue of the American Atlas with the Pennsylvania Canal map dated 1833). Map has outline color by county, and is folded into untitled red leather covers 15x8.5 with a border pattern stamped in gilt. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and greenwich. Relief shown by hachures. |

Early edition of Canal map of 1834, on the 1823 base map. See No. 19 in Tanner's Memoir catalogue of 1829 - this is a listing of this map (we assume) published in 1829 or earlier. Later, it became the map used in Tanner's book of 1834 on Pennsylvania and New Jersey Canals and Railroads. This map is the same as the atlas map of 1823, except the existing and proposed canals and railroads are shown in color and many are delineated that do not appear on the atlas map. Outline color by state. Map is folded into red leather covers 15x8.5 with "Pennsylvania Canals" stamped in gilt. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich. Relief shown by hachures. |

| Note |
In 1835 Peck and Messenger published their first map, a smaller map of "Illinois and part of the Wisconsin Territory." In 1836 they issued a much larger map, published by Colton, that is the ancestor of this 1852 map. Karrow shows issues of 1836, 1838, 1839, 1844, 1846, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, 1856, 1857, 1863, 1866, 1868, and 1869. The 1836 copyright was kept throughout, except for the 1853 issue, when the copyright was changed to 1853. In the unrecorded 1860 and 1867 issues (see our copies), the title adds Colton's name. It is odd that with so many issues of the map, it has become truly scarce. In its time, it was the best map of Illinois by far, and was probably the most popular. It is one of the only maps to show the vast extent of the prairies by graphic symbol. In addition to the two inset maps, there is an untitled profile of the Michigan Canal. There are columns of texts on the Public Lands, the Land Districts, Canals, and Population. In 1839 Peck issued with Colton the "Traveller's Directory For Illinois," with a slightly smaller map of the state (Karrow 4-1479). Peck was a Baptist Minister who traveled extensively in Illinois and adjoining states as a part of his work, and his keen sense of observation quickly made him an authority on the West. His Guide for Emigrants appeared in 1831, and his Gazetteer of Illinois in 1834. After his death in 1858, Colton continued to publish this map under Peck's name. Full color by county, folded into stamped black leather covers 15x9 with "Colton & Co.s. Map Of Illinois Exhibiting The Sections By Peck & Messinger" in gilt. Prime meridian: Washington. |

The contents calls for only one map but a second new map is added of the entire U.S., from the Mitchell Universal Atlas plate. The Drake1856 map adds J.L. 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. |
