The map and covers now apart and separately mounted for display. Historical BackgroundFirst edition and the first wall map issued by Mitchell. This edition does not have the counties delineated and numbered. Ristow mistakenly says all editions have the townships he means counties numbered but this one the first does not thereby eliminating the index of counties and thus showing more of the western territory. This map predates the Traveler's Guide by 1 year and thus is Mitchell's first ""original"" production as opposed to the Finley material he reissued as the American Atlas and Pocket Maps. Copyright date is October 10 1831. There is no other date on the map. Ristow thinks the map was issued in early 1832 but it is not in Phillips until 1834 edition which probably has the counties indicated by number and the 1831 copyright so Ristow may not have seen this edition but rather the 1834.ReferenceKarrow 1-1473; Ristow p309.ConditionOriginal full color the palette rich and bright.

"After his marriage in 1836 Kemble appears to have resided in London for some time employing himself in literary work and specially in transcribing in the British Museum and in various collegiate and cathedral libraries the Anglo-Saxon charters afterwards printed in his Codex Diplomaticus.In his knowledge of Teutonic philology he was far ahead of any of his fellow-countrymen and was the recognised exponent of the investigations of Jacob Grimm and other German writers on the subject. With regard to the study of Anglo-Saxon Kemble had a more scientific as well as a more accurate knowledge of the language than any earlier scholar and a deeper insight into its relations to other branches of Teutonic speech. He used his knowledge chiefly in illustrating Anglo-Saxon literature and history writing in all his original work as a man of letters no less than as a scholar. In commenting on an early fable he notes its significance traces its development and examines the forms under which it appears at different times and in various countries. The publication of his collection of documents belonging to the Anglo-Saxon period may be said to have laid the foundation of our present knowledge of the institutions and customs of the English before the Norman conquest.His Codex Diplomaticus must remain the great original of all such undertakings and the pattern to be followed by all future editors of charters. Besides the exact knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and the skill in deciphering manuscripts displayed by this book it presents though so unobtrusively as to be almost likely to escape notice proofs of an amazing amount of knowledge and critical acumen. Every charter which offers ground for suspicion is marked with an asterisk. Kemble's work was always done with minute care and a charter that he has not marked as spurious may as a rule safely be accepted as genuine. Founded on the Codex Kemble's Saxons in England was until the appearance of Bishop Stubbs's Constitutional History in 1873 the best English treatise on the polity of our ancestors before the coming of the Normans" DNB. <br/><br/> sumptibus Societatis [i.e. English Historical Society] unknown books
