Engraved map. Internal boundaries hand col. Relief shown by hachures. Shows battle sites, etc. Also numbered XXI. Unusual presentation in two large elephant folio volumes with the maps unfolded. Covers are three quarter leather, marbled paper covered boards with "Hall's Atlas Part 1" and "Part 2" respectively, stamped in gilt on the front and spine. Wheat mentions the United States, Mexico and Guatimala, and British North America maps: he declares them up to date, making good use of the Lewis and Clark and Long maps. Interestingly for a British cartographer, Hall shows Maine and Oregon with the most ambitious U.S. claims as to territory. Graphically, these maps are very striking and beautiful; with outline color. Hall did a revised edition in the 1850-57 period (Phillips 821). The Australia maps are also mentioned by Tooley (Australia and Antarctica). In 1840 he collaborated with A. & C. Black to produce Black's General Atlas -- however, those maps are somewhat smaller and not as impressive as these maps. The maps are dated variously from 1827 to 1830, with the title page dated 1830. This may indicate that the atlas was first issued in parts. Phillips, 758; Wheat, C.I. Mapping the transmississippi West, 380, 381, 386; Tooley, R.V.
