Mitchell's School Atlas, (10 x 12"). A nice example of Mitchell's famous school atlas with 32 maps (on 18 sheets) along with tables and statistics. The map of the United States features large western territories and shows the Gadsden purchase border with Mexico. The map of the Gold Region in California, inset into the map of the U.S., contains the names of numerous important gold mining towns in central California. The atlas also includes the desirable No. 13 Texas map. Hardbound with pictorial paper over boards. This is the fourth revised edition, published by H. Cowperthwait & Co., 1855. The maps are in better than normal condition but there is still the occasional spot. Quarter leather with paper covers with a little wear. Front end paper with tear and some abrasion with small hole at one corner.

The Appendix contains advanced questions for the "teacher of much practical experience." Hardbound in quarter leather with paper covers. Title page, Preface, Geographical Definitions, Geographical Questions, Appendix. After the Appendix are four un-numbered pages advertising the school related publications of Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. Contents fine, binding with some shelf wear.
