Additional Details

Basically Reid's renditions of Carey's American Atlas of 1795, with the maps of Lewis. The map of Washington is generally not found in the volume, but its uncommon appearance in scattered copies suggests that it was bound in originally by Reid. The map of Washington in this copy is trimmed to the neatline along the bottom and left edges.
