Pub Note:
1st edition, Cowen gives precedence. Issued before the larger edition of 1851 (see our 4658.000) , this is in the form of a pocket map with only the uncolored general chart of the bay, but with the 48 pages of text printed on pages small enough to fit into the pocket map covers. No views, as issued.
