Pub Note: The 1st ed., with a list of subscribers.
Fordham lists eds. of 1808, 1811 (reissue of 1808, no maps
changes other than the 1811 date appearing on some of the maps),
1819 (one third of the maps amended), 1824 (maps unchanged from
1819 except for the date), 1828 (same as 1824, except for date
changes, with reissues in 1833, 1836 (Baskes), and 1844). This
is a fine atlas, one of the best of its period, and a source for
American mapmakers (Tanner directly copied the World and
continental maps for his New American Atlas). Fordham: (The
maps) "are finely engraved, with full details, showing
especially the water-ways and roads, and hill-shading, and are
usually coloured. The work is very clear and delicate and of a
uniform character throughout." Maps are hand painted in outline
color and bound in half leather brown boards with "Cary's Atlas.
1808" stamped in gilt on the new leather spine.
