Sobre este artículo
Sale, 1802. 15,[1],14,[1]pp. Dbd. Final leaf torn, affecting a few words in the advertisement. Two small holes throughout, growing larger toward the rear, affecting a few words on each page of the final seven leaves. A fair copy. An ambitious proposal for a new world geography. Nancrede and Macanulty begin by heavily criticizing extant atlases (including that of Mathew Carey), and end by outlining their ambitious work, to be authored by the noted geographer, James Tytler. Designed as three octavo volumes and one atlas, this text would illustrate the use of globes, offer a general history of mankind, religion, and the earth, and include descriptions of particular countries. The second portion is a supplement, containing a review of Pinkerton's MODERN GEOGRAPHY. A scarce Salem imprint. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 2723, 2724. OCLC 23272910, 80557241.
