Very rare. This little school atlas is the beginning of a long run: next comes the Carey and Lea "Juvenile atlas or a series of maps to illustrate the Old and New Worlds", 1822 (Bill Mayer has only copy we have seen), then Carey & Lea's 1825 edition of this atlas, then the Key edition and the Hunt edition of the "Cabinet atlas" of 1830 with 28 maps added, then C.S. Williams "A new general atlas" of 1832 and finally the Andrus and Judd 1833 "New general atlas." All have the U.S. map engraved by J.G. Melish, son of John Melish (see Ristow, Am. Maps and Mapmakers) and the other thirteen maps that appear first in this 1820 School Atlas. Maps in outline color. Cover title. Publisher's advertisement on back cover. |

This is called Melish's greatest work (Ristow). 1st ed. 1822. Melish died in 1822, eds. were published in 1824, 1826, and 1832 by the state (which explains B. Tanner listing as publisher instead of Melish). Morris did a revised ed. in 1849 (see our copy). Melish spent more than six years on this monumental project, which he hoped would serve as a model for other state map. The map was sponsored by the state and based on individual county surveys. Map has outline color by county, blue cloth edging, and is dissected into 40 sections. Folds into marbled end sheets which slips into a half leather marbled cover 35x21 with "Pennsylvania" stamped in gilt on the spine. |

| Note |
The title page is dated 1817 and the text is unchanged from the 1817 edition, but the Melish base map is changed from the 1817 edition Melish map to one that shows all of Florida and Missouri and Arkansas (with Arkansas in an 1828 formation). The map is the second state (White 1817B), although it is really an entirely different map. It is similar to the Map of The United States that appears in Melish's Traveler's Guide of 1822 and in Carey and Lea's American Atlas, but it has been reengraved, and the title is changed to United States of North America. It is colored geologically, but there is no color key. The same map appears in the Jackson Wreath of 1829, but in an earlier state. Bound in at the back is the "Essay..." mentioned above. This copy belonged to Francis P. Farquhar, noted California historian. Bound in brown cloth covers with "Geology" printed in gold on the spine. |
