Note:
Many changes from the 1834 (1st) edition (see our copy). From the title it appears that Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. had, by 1839, taken over the selling of Mitchell's pocket maps and guides (see our other copies for 1839). At this time Mitchell was issuing his first edition of the School Geography and Atlas. The Universal Atlas was still six years away, however he may have decided to focus on school books, large maps, and important pocket maps and leave the standards to TC & Co. Map is folded into dark blue stamped leather covers 12.5x7.5 with "Mitchell's Map Of Indiana" in gilt. Full color. Prime meridians are Washington D.C. and Greenwich.
