This complete atlas was published in the United States and contains 40 single-page modern maps including the world (2), Europe (11), Asia (7), Oceania (2), Africa (4), North America (10) and South America (4). Of particular interest is the map of the United States, which shows the country following the Missouri Compromise with both the state and territory of Missouri depicted. It shows the U.S. in control of present-day British Columbia with the "Boundary between the United States & Russia settled by Convention April 5th...1824." The boundary with Mexico is per the Treaty of 1819 and includes an unnamed Texas. Missouri Territory encompasses the entire Great Plains from Texas to Canada and from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. Other territories include Michigan, North West and Arkansas, the capital of which is Little Rock or Arkopolis. The map presents a particularly good view of the rivers and Indian nations in the West. The map of Mexico and Guatimala names present-day eastern Texas as "Texas or New Estremadura." In the Colombia and Guiana map, the mythical Lake Parime still persists. Maps were engraved by James Young and published by John Grigg in Philadelphia. Hardbound in quarter leather with tips over marbled boards.
