With the Large United States Map and the N:W: Territory Map - The Two Most Desirable Maps to Appear in Carey's Atlases.
This is Carey's expanded atlas, based on the maps from 1796 American Atlas (i.e., the edition with the large U.S. folding map) and the 1795 General Atlas for Gutherie's Geography. Carey's 1800-'04 General Atlases have same maps, with the same imprint dates (1794 and '95) as the first edition books, however, they add four very scarce maps: the Plat of the Seven Ranges, Map of Part of the N:W: Territory, St. Domingue, and Countries in which the Apostles traveled.
Carey produced the following editions of his General Atlas:
1800 (Yale)
1802 (P3535)
1804 (P6021; this edition)
1811 (Rumsey 4863) (The rarest of the pre-1814 editions. Not in Phillips. The last edition to use maps from the 1795 American Atlas and 1795 General Atlas for Gutherie's Geography.)
1814 (Rumsey 4577) ("The first atlas made in the United States to employ standard color on the maps... we have never seen any copies of a pre-1814 Carey atlas with original color... This edition is almost entirely new, with most of the maps reengraved."; effective "second edition" though not labeled as such - Carey calls the 1818 the "third edition")
1817 (Extremely rare variant edition)
1818 (Rumsey 2721) (Third and last edition.)
The book is priced "Ten Dollars" on the title page, or roughly $170 in 2018.
