Pub Note:
Date estimated. Probably published in 1836 or 1837. Many of the maps that are dated 1833 in the first 1836 edition, are here dated 1836 and have substantial changes in counties, etc. The World map is dated 1833 in the first issue and 1836 in this later issue. This is quite a different production from the earlier 1836 edition. Maps in full color. Relief shown in hachures. Prime meridian of states of the United States is Washington. Each atlas page has a header reading, "Tanner's Universal Atlas".
