Very tidy ex-library - unread; Super octavo hardcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.

This 1846 edition is largely a reprint of the edition first published in 1837 (which was copyright 1836). The only apparent change here is a 24-page addition to vol. 3, entitled: SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY CONTAINING STATISTICAL AND OTHER MATTER, BRINGING DOWN THE WORK TO THE YEAR 1842." Among other things, the supplement includes county-by-county population records from the 1840 census, plus updated statistics on agriculture, steam power, imports/exports, etc. Based on paginations found in Sabin, this supplement was probably first published in 1843. The set is well-illustrated with 82 maps and about 1,100 other engravings on wood. There are sections on astronomy by William Wallace, botany by William Jackson Hooker, geology by Robert Jameson, and zoology by William Swainson. Volume III has a nice 2-page multi-color steel-engraved map of the U.S. It was drawn by J. Drayten after Tanner, and features neatly hand-colored borders around each state and territory.
