A handsome atlas of the Americas with individual color maps of each state in the Union including a seminal map of the West by Stephen H. Long. At the time of publication this was the best and most detailed atlas to be produced in the United States with substantial historical background text accompanying each map. Fielding Lucas the major Baltimore printer was the principal engraver. <br> <br> Among the most noted maps in the atlas is Major Stephen H. Long's "Map of Arkansa and other Territories of the United States." That map which depicts the Missouri basin between Nashville in the east the Mandan villages in the north and the Rocky Mountains in the west was based on the surveys conducted by Long on his expeditions of 1819 and 1820. The map published in Carey & Lea's atlas preceded the official account of that expedition by expedition botanist Edwin James which includes a smaller map with similar detail titled "Country drained by the Mississippi Western Section." Carey & Lea's 1823 publication of James' ACCOUNT perhaps explains the prior inclusion of this map with Long expedition information in their atlas. <br> <br> On this famous map is the printed legend which would perpetuate a myth for many years to come identifying the high plains as the "Great American Desert." Carey & Lea's atlas was first issued in 1822; this is the second issue with revised states of three maps Maine North Carolina and Louisiana with the same printing of the remaining maps and a cancel title.

The publishers constantly changed and improved the atlas in an effort to outdo not only their competitors but also to improve on the previous edition. Maps were added the first edition included only 66 map sheets maps were replaced the present work includes two maps dated 1800 including 'A New Chart of the World' dated 25 November 1800 and maps were updated eight maps are dated 1799. The scale of some of the maps is truly spectacular: this atlas contains 15 maps that if joined would form large scale wall maps: 'Asia and its Islands' on three folding sheets ranging from the Arctic regions in the north down through Russia Indonesia and Australia would measure approximately 56 x 46 inches if assembled. The remaining maps on two folding sheets would all be approximately 40 x 46 inches if joined: these include three maps of American interest: 'A new map of the whole continent of America'; 'A new map of North America with the West India Islands'; and 'A map of South America'. The remaining areas that are covered by large scale maps are 'A general map of the World'; England & Wales; Scotland; Ireland; the Netherlands; Germany; Hindoostan; Bengal Bahar etc; Delhi Agrah Oude and Allahabad. This atlas was originally created by Thomas Kitchin. Sayer and Bennett had published the work in 1773 and Laurie and Whittle took over the Sayer business in 1794. They subsequently enlarged the work adding maps and changing the name from the General Atlas to A New Universal Atlas. The maps are based on the work of a variety of mapmakers and surveyors: Thomas Kitchin Thomas Jefferys John Rocque Robert Campbell John Armstrong John Roberts L. S. d'Arcy Delarochette James Rennell Andrew Dury Thomas Pownall and Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville. Also included is the information gathered as a result of the important Pacific voyages of Captain James Cook George Vancouver and Jean Francois Galaup de La Perouse.<br/> <br/>Phillips Atlases 3534.
