WEBSTER, James
Map of the United States
New York: Webster, 1835. Outline period color, 16½ x 19¼ inches. Population table 1830. Portrait of George Washington. With a second sheet of accompanying text entitled "Travellers Guide and Statistical View of the United States." 17¾ x 22 inches. Folding into stiff paper covers.
First edition of a rare early travellers' guide to the United States. Rumsey 3450 lists only an 1836 edition and believes it to be a "very scarce work…probably a one shot issue…The map is from a discarded plate of H. Phelps' U.S. [1832]…The index is largely stolen from Mitchell's Traveller's Guide index sheet for 1832, however the information on roads and distances is taken from someone else." The map still bears Henry Phelps' copyright date of 1832.
