Description:

[6] pp. of geographical and statistical tables, and 18 hand-colored maps, some double page, some minuscule, sharing pages with larger maps. (4to) 30x24.5 cm (11¾x9¼") original cloth-backed illustrated boards. Revised Edition.

The maps of North America and of the United States both showing an independent Texas, the western border of which extends so far north that there is only a very short distance that Mexico and the United States border each other directly in the west, and Texas includes a decent portion of the Rockies.

Wear, soiling and staining to boards, tearing to paper on rear board, paper worn at corners; binding a bit loose, hinges cracked, offsetting and foxing to endpapers, foxing throughout, though not generally marring the maps a great deal; good.
