Note:
The first edition. Woodbridge's section on Modern Geography was accompanied by his Modern Atlas (first edition was 1824, P337 - see our later editions). Willard did not yet have an atlas to accompany her Ancient Geography - she first issued that atlas in 1827. Woodbridge and Willard discovered that they shared similar approaches to teaching geography and so decided to collaborate on this book. Maps uncolored and integrated with the text. Book bound with quarter leather with the remainder paper covered with title printed on front.
