[4], 170 pp. With 39 hand-colored copper-engraved maps (1 double page, counting as 2 on the list of maps; 1 with 4 city plans); hand-colored copper-engraved added pictorial title. 41.5x33.5 cm. (16½x13¼"), modern cloth, leather cover label.

Bradford's important atlas of the United States, with fine maps of each of the states, a general map of North America, a double-page map of the U.S. (from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and including Mexican California and the Southwest), city plans, etc. The most notable feature is undoubtedly the separate map of Texas as an independent republic, with Austin's Colony shown, the various grants, etc., between the Red River and the Nueces. The accompanying text, about 1½ pages, is headed "Republic of Texas." Texas is not shown independent from Mexico in the North American and U.S. maps, but it is named. David Rumsey described the atlas in some detail, calling it "Bradford's best atlas, far superior to the smaller and more crudely drawn Comprehensive Atlas... There is a beautifully illustrated, engraved second title page reading 'An Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical and Historical of the United States'..."
