Note:
2nd edition, later than Wheat. Wheat's copy of the 1847 edition is essentially the same as the 1846 edition; this copy is later in the year because it adds many towns in Mexico (probably to reflect battles, etc.) and it adds two tables, of population and distances in Mexico, which are placed in the ocean below North America. Full and outline color map. Includes chronological and statistical view of the United States. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington, D.C.
