This school atlas is complete with 12 maps, each either dated 1828-29 or not dated. The cartography in the United States map shows Wisconsin Territory between Lake Michigan and the Missouri River. The large Missouri Territory extends from the Missouri River to Oregon Territory and south to include Indian Territory. Texas still appears to be part of Mexico despite this atlas being published during the Republic period. Northern California is "Unexplored Region." On the North America map, the boundary in the Northwest extends well into British America with notation "Boundary determined 1824." Maps included are: World in Hemispheres (double-page); World with thematic chart of religions; North America; United States (double-page); Eastern States; Middle States (double-page); Southern States (double-page); Western States (Missouri through Ohio - double-paged); South America; Europe; Asia; and Africa. The thirteenth engraving is a thematic chart exhibiting comparative size, population, and forms of government across the globe with four engraved vignettes showing Morocco, Constantinople, and New York. Printed paper covers double as the title page and list of maps. Published by Robinson, Pratt & Company.
