Item description from seller

Folio, (15 ½ x 12 ¾ inches). 93 full- or double-page maps with original hand-color in full, lithographed plate "A Time Table," numerous insets and plans (a few short tears). Original publisher's half brown morocco, brown cloth boards, gilt (corners and spine quite worn with loss, binding shaken and loose but holding). Later revised edition, first published in 1862, bearing the newer copyright date of 1879. After retirement around 1860, the innovative, shrewd, and prolific map publisher, S. Augustus Mitchell turned the business over to his son of the same name. Mitchell, Jr. continued with the classic and popular Mitchell atlas under the title New General Atlas, in a slightly smaller format, as here, and was issued annually until 1887. The maps continued to be used right up to the end of the nineteenth century, sometimes by other publishers. See Ristow, American Maps and Mapmakers, p. 313.
