Note:
The text is not changed from the 1850 edition, nor are any major changes noted on the map from the 1851 edition map (even though this map is dated 1854). The catalogue of Thomas, Cowperthwait is enlarged from the 1850 edition, with an excellent description of the Mitchell New Universal Atlas: "The results of the latest geographical and nautical discoveries are to be found on the Maps, including those of the most recent date by Wilkes, Nicollet, and Fremont." Outline color. Bound in black stamped leather covers with "Mitchell's New Traveller's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat and train stamped in gilt.
