Large Quarto, 11 x 9 1/2 inches. 1/4 red leather spine over marbled boards, gilt decorations at spine, color maps with one fold out of the United States. 'The double-page map of the United States, engraved by A. Doggett, is similar to the one engraved by N. & S.S. Jocelyn and published in Morse's An Atlas of the United States [1823] and New Universal Atlas of the World [1825], which is cited by Wheat. This earlier map is not mentioned. The map features the Oregon country with the overly-long Multnomah (Willamette) River. There is no northern boundary shown, although the map of North America shows the correct boundary to the Pacific. In the west, which is mostly labeled Unexplored Country, a dotted line connects a lake in the vicinity of Salt Lake to the Pacific accompanied by a note, 'Supposed River between the Buenaventara and the Bay of Francisco which will probably be the communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific.' (Old World Auctions) Jedidiah Morse was a notable geographer whose textbooks became a staple for students in the United States. He was the father of telegraphy pioneer and painter Samuel F. B. Morse, and his textbooks earned him the sobriquet of 'father of American geography.' Good to Very Good, marbled boards heavily rubbed with some spotting, corners and spine ends bumped, rubbing to leather spine and gilt is hard to see, front hinge starting to crack, lacks front free end paper, pages foxed and agetoned, map of South America has 2 x 3 inch tear at top inner corner with some creasing, map of Europe has two inch closed tear at fore-edge, one inch chip at fore-edge of rear free end paper.…
