The maps are augmented by text and engravings depicting animals, vegetation, natives, important buildings, and major cities around the world. As a Civil War-period atlas it is fascinating to find not a single reference to the conflict. 118 pages with statistical tables at the end. Hardbound in pictorial paper covers over boards. Published by Ivison, Phinney, Blakeman & Co. in New York.
