A delightful small-scale atlas with 26 of the maps relating to individual American states and territories. Ostensibly published as a more affordable alternative to Carey's folio General Atlas of 1814, the maps are compiled from several prior publications, including Carey's American Pocket Atlas and Brookes's Gazetteer. Scarce. Rumsey 4864 (1816).
