Author
Bringhurst, William
Note
The state maps are dated 1816; the other three maps are undated. The Ontario, Pittsburgh and Zanesville maps are copied from similar maps that appear in Melish's "Geographical Description," most likely the 1820 or 22 edition because of the rounded corners which do not appear in the earlier editions of 1815 and 16. The state maps are copied from Scott's Gazetteer of 1795. The penmanship is very good. All maps in outline color. Relief shown by hachures and shadings.
Author
Henshaw, Frances A.
Note
Vermont's rivers, mountains, and lakes are mentioned. Frances also notes that Vermont is the fourteenth state and "not the least respectable pillar in the American Union."
