Pub Note:
Unrecorded Dower Atlas, Commentary by Higgins. See Tooley Mapping Australia for mention of these maps of Australia and Tasmania, though he misdated them and did not mention this Atlas as the source of the maps; perhaps they were published separately as well. 12 of the maps appear later in lithographic form in Dower's Short Atlas..for Schools. Unusual Mountains and Rivers Plate facing the title page. See Dower's 1854 General Atlas for the same maps, updated.
