Morse's popular series of geographies, with their easy to read maps and fact-filled text, quickly became a standard for American educators during the early 19th century. This edition contains a total of 53 wax-engraved maps including a double-page map of the United States that features a large Indian Territory that stretches as far west as the Rocky Mountains, and a large Territory of Iowa that includes most of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Another nice map is the North America, which shows an Independent Texas in an unusual shape. 4to. 72 pages. Complete. Hardbound in original decorative paper covered boards with a black paper spine.
