"The Universal Gazetteer; Being a Concise Description, Alphabetically Arranged...", Walker, John

This small geography book contains 12 folding maps including the World, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, the West Indies and several European countries. In North America, place names are limited to the east coast with East and West Florida depicted. Quivira is located in the west as is a long River of the West with two possible routes shown flowing into the Pacific. The world map shows Tasmania still connected to the Australian mainland and Cook's tracks are shown in the southern Pacific Ocean. Includes around 400 pages of unpaginated text describing thousands of places "not to be met with in any similar gazetteer." Fifth edition updated by Arthur Kershaw. Hardbound in original leather.
