Pub Note:

1 atlas: 55 maps, Table of contents and geographical tables. Same maps as Mitchell New School Atlas. This is an interesting atlas of multi-state maps. Maps are engraved, full hand colored, printed on thick paper bound with cloth covers and half leather with "Reference Atlas For Colleges, Libraries, Families, And Counting Houses" in embossed gilt. The geographical tables at the end of the volume includes variety of geographical information of the world and the United States. Mitchell began his map publishing career in the early 1830s. Having worked as a school teacher, Mitchell was frustrated with the low quality and inaccuracy of school texts of the period. His first maps were an attempt to rectify this problem. In the next 20 years Mitchell would become the most prominent American map publisher of the mid-19th century.
