First edition of this remarkably scarce plat map atlas for the Matanuska coal fields and township sites surveyed by Walker & McDaniel during their surveys following those on the Kenai Peninsula. By 1912 with the act establishing Alaska as a U.S. Territory and in 1914 the authorization to construct an Alaska Railroad there became an increased need and demand for coal. The Matanuska mines located about 45 miles northeast of Anchorage first began production in 1916 and would stay in continuous production through both World War I and World War II and well into the 20th Century re-opening again in the 21st Century. Not only do these maps show available government lease sites for coal mines but also available Township sites for homesteaders as required by the original Homestead Acts of 1866 and the 1916 Act for Alaska requiring surveys and resurveys to accurately determine boundaries of unsold railroad lands and identify their boundaries.

The work was sufficiently in demand to justify 37 legitimate editions from 1689 to 1794 and three pirated editions. All editions are rare. During the history of this title its charts underwent numerous changes. The first edition contained only 18 maps whereas this 1794 final edition contained 26.</p><p>"<em>The English Pilot</em> was the first major sea-atlas produced in England. In its final form it consisted of five separate books and <em>The Fourth Book</em> was the first wholly English sea-atlas of American waters. Although the idea originated with John Seller he was involved in producing only the first two books. William Fisher and John Thornton produced <em>The Fourth Book</em> in 1689 and their successors Mount and Page continued to print it for over 100 years Seller's proposal for a 'Sea Waggoner' resulted in the production of <em>The English Pilot</em> which consisted of five separate volumes with a common generic title. Book One included the southern navigation and Book Two the northern. Book Three was concerned with the Orient Book Four with America and Book Five contained Africa. Each book or volume has its own independent publishing history and appeared in numerous editions. The five separate books constitute a set only by virtue of the general title and under that title <em>The English Pilot</em> is the first great sea-atlas produced in England. Of the five books the fourth has the longest publication history and is the best known" Verner p. v.</p><p>Throughout its history <em>The Fourth Book</em> showed very few changes in textual matter and the content of the volume was established between the editions of 1706 and 1721.</p><p>The present example of the 1794 edition is complete and contains the following maps see Verner pp. xv-xx for full list of editions and charts from 1689 to 1794:</p><p>1.

First edition thus stated “New Edition†which in actuality was an updated and revised edition with new engraved plates executed by W.G. Evans of New York fl. 1830-1845 who also engraved the famed Map of Lewis & Clark’s Track Across the Western Portion of North America in 1842 revised by Archibald M’Vickar. Burritt 1794-1838 an American astronomer and mathematician created his textbook and the later atlas as a low-cost alternative to celestial globes which were often too expensive for many schools in Jacksonian America. The atlas could be purchased for $ 1.25 at the time and the Geography of the Heavens textbooks and Atlases would prove immensely popular in classrooms up until 1876. Adapting most of his constellation figures from Alexander Jamieson’s A Celestial Atlas 1822 Burritt included a plan of the Solar System Celestial maps of the skies in January-March October-December April-June July-September South Pole North Pole and Planisphere of the Whole Heavens on Mercator’s Projection. This was the last decorative celestial reference in the 19th century and even served as inspiration of H.P. Lovecraft who notes it as prized possession in letter to Maurice Moe in 1915.
