On page 5 is a short testimonial, dated Nov.10, 1858, from Abraham Lincoln "Having hastily examined Larrance's Post Office chart and considered the principal upon which it is arranged, I think it will prove a great convenience to Post Masters and others whose business leads them to search out particular localities upon maps." Under the Lincoln quote is this statement: "A diploma was awarded by the United States Fair, held at Cincinnati, 1860, to Isaac Larrance." Atlas is bound in cloth covered boards, blind stamped on back and front covers with "Larrance's Post office charts and maps of Western States." in gilt on front cover.
