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. |

2nd (and best) edition, first with Tanner's Map of the Canals and Railroads of the United States. The map is copyright 1830. The book lists over 150 canals and navigation improvements in great detail. The map shows the most important canals and two railroads in operation, and one proposed railroad (the Great Western Railroad, from New York to the Mississippi River)plus two others. The canals and railroad lines are in color. The first edition appeared in 1826 with 10 maps but without the Tanner map (see our copy #4214). Tanner in 1834 and 1840 (see our copies, #2655 and #979) published a book on Canals and Railroads that uses the same map, updated. Modelski lists the 1834 Tanner map as "one of the earliest general maps of the eastern United States showing railroads in operation." Since this 1830 copy is an earlier state of the same map, it probably qualifies as the true "first." Two folding plates of profiles of canals and railroads at the back. Not in Streeter, Eberstadt, or Graff. Bound in half leather boards with "A Connected View" on the spine. |

| Note |
Second edition (first edition 1826) of one of the earliest locally produced maps of Northeastern Ohio. Streeter on the first edition: "the finest map produced by an Ohio engraver and pioneer printer." Streeter incorrectly names the mapmaker as "Savery Pitt." Actually, in the lower right corner of the map the engraver is listed as "Savory, Pitt." HRB located a William Savery in Pittsburgh working as an engraver during this period, so we assume he engraved this map. The publisher of the 1826 edition was William Sumner. There is text and population statistics under the map, regarding the history of the area. Harris' Pittsburgh business directory for the year 1837, and the Standard history of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania give name as William Savory (see "Map of the Western Reserve including the Fire Lands in Ohio" at http://web.ulib.csuohio.edu/SpecColl/maps/SavoryPitt.html. |
