Note:
The first edition. The large map in outline color is titled "The Traveller's Guide Or Map Of The Roads, Canals & Rail Roads of the United States With the distances from place to place. By H.S. Tanner 1834." This is the only edition of the map to have a date on it; we can find no other changes to the maps in the 1836 and 1837 editions. In the 1842 edition many of the upper left inset maps are dropped to allow better coverage of Iowa. There is an extra map of Pennsylvania tipped in that is the Anthony Finley 1834 double page atlas map of Pennsylvania, but with Tanner's name as publisher and printed on thin folding paper. Included are four small maps of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. With a catalogue of Tanner's works. Linen covered boards with label affixed to the cover with title, "Tanner's American Traveller, or Guide Through the United States."
