One of the Johnston Firm's Earlier Atlases. With a Rare Map showing the Republic of Texas.
This is evidently the second edition (first published in 1838) of one of W. & A. K. Johnston's early atlases. That firm, which came to such prominence in the second half of the 19th century, first started as a printing business in 1826.
The following co-publishers are noted: Glasgow: Robert Weir, Lumsden & Sons; London: Whittaker; Dublin: John Cumming; Paris: J. P. Aillaud.
Rarity
No other copies noted for sale or in auction catalogs. OCLC records three copies of the 1838 edition, but none of the 1839.
