Wilkinson, James [Atlas intended to accompany] "Memoirs of My Own Times. By General James Wilkinson"

James Wilkinson. [Atlas intended to accompany] Memoirs of My Own Times. By General James Wilkinson. 

Philadelphia: Abraham Small, 1816.  Atlas only.  19 maps and plans numbered 20 of various sizes.  Sheets uncut but some patched.  Ex libris, small ink stamps on 2 sheets.  Bound in attractive cloth.  Repairs to maps excellent.  

A superb copy of this very scarce atlas which Howes speculates was issued separately since the text and atlas are seldom found together. Despite the missing parts of Gen. Ross’s route map, this atlas would serve well to accompany a set of the three volume text.

The maps by Henry S. Tanner are unusual and listed here with titles and sizes (by neatlines--all have full margins).  Title page and “advertisement” with stains and small library ink stamps.
