"Preserving all that is useful in the Fourth and Last edition of

in "A Complete Atlas" of 1752, and as the Maps for the "Complete
Collection of Voyages" by John Harris, in 1744-48 (M&B). The
text is massive and interesting, and there are several important
maps of America: America, West Indies, Mexico, Louisiana,
Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania et al, and Newfoundland et al.
The map of the World in Hemispheres is lacking in this copy.
Both volumes are newly bound in full brown leather covered
boards with "Geography. Vol. 1" and -Geography. Vol. 2" embossed
on the spine in gilt.
