This page includes Outline color map of the world and text. First edition. The "Historical Extracts" are short bits of text printed on the maps giving relevant geographical information. A revised edition was published in London in 1792. In 1759, another edition was published adding separate geographical descriptions and correcting some of the maps (see our copy). The Philadelphia 1798 edition by Mathew Carey incorporates the 1759 edition text word for word (excepting the maps of United States which Carey omits in favor of his pocket atlas of the U.S.). Gibson and Bowen made the four sheet map of North America (Stevens 49), and Gibson made the four sheet map of America (Stevens 3). See note field above. P621.
