CAREY, MATHEW. Carey's American Pocket Atlas. [Lacking Maps.] Title, iv, 168 pages, and folding table, but wanting all maps. 12mo, 180x110 mm, original 1/4 calf over marbled boards, leather a little rubbed, but overall nice; moderate text offsetting. Philadelphia: Mathew Carey, 1813

Additional Details

There is no evidence that the maps were ever bound into the book; perhaps they accompanied the text in another volume or as pocket maps. This is a rare 1813 edition, labeled as the fourth edition, although the 1814 edition would also hold that description.
