Augustus Mitchell retired in 1860 leaving the business to his son S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. In the same year Mitchell Jr. published the first edition of the present work issued to replace the New Universal Atlas. The work was evidently a success: a second edition followed in 1861 a third in 1862 and the atlas continued to be issued annually until 1887. As with its predecessor the General Atlas concentrates on the Americas this edition includes 35 maps of the area including a fine double-page east-to-west-coast of the United States the individual states are delineated on 21 maps and there are city plans of Boston New York Philadelphia Baltimore Washington New Orleans Cincinnati Chicago and St.Louis. The text also is also heavily weighted in the same direction as the maps: pp.1-23 'List of Post Offices in the United States' 24-25pp. 'Population of the United States' 26-27pp. 'List of Post Offices in the Canadas' 1p. 'Table of Population Governments &c.' 1p. 'Table of Distances'; 1p. 'Mountains of the World' 1p. 'Rivers of the World'.<br/> <br/>Phillips Atlases 3558; cf. Ristow p.313; Rumsey p.244. S.

18454885Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell 1845. Copper-engraved wall map with full original colour expertly repaired backed with modern linen trimmed in green cloth on contemporary rollers with bright colour overall in very good condition. An impressive wall map of the United States from a crucial year in American history.<br/> <br/>In 1834 Mitchell republished his A New Map of the United States under the title of Reference and Distance Map. New updated editions appeared almost yearly. When compared to the 1833 edition of the former this 1845 edition of the Reference and Distance Map shows many new developments in the upper Midwest. The outline of Lake Michigan has undergone extensive corrections. An oversized Wisconsin Territory 1836 now appears. Two of the small insets of American towns have been removed from the upper left-hand corner so that the new oversized Territory of Iowa 1838 could be added. The large inset General Map of the United States now shows Texas in its last year as an independent Republic. An important American map showing the country on the eve of its second great national expansion.<br/> <br/>Rumsey 4223; Phillips Maps p. 898. S. Augustus Mitchell unknown books
