A GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITED STATES, WITH THE CONTIGUOUS BRITISH AND SPANISH POSSESSIONS, INTENDED AS AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO MELISH'S MAP OF THESE ... Second edition, after the 1815 original and another similar but earlier 1816 issue without the designation of "second edition." Sabin's collations appear to be confused, but Howes' listing is correct. The work was issued to accompany the large map, the first to represent the entire country, coast to coast. The map was sold separately, not accompanying any editions of the present work. The folding map of Pennsylvania is noted as a specimen of county maps to be constructed by an act of the Legislature. With maps of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and a color folding map of the area surrounding Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
