An enormously popular guide for navigating the western waters. Early issue, with the Errata inside rear cover, and all the errors in the text and on the maps in their original state. Pages 134--143 are devoted to ads of Cincinnati merchants. Unusually nice copy.
This is the first copy of this 1st edition from 1825 to show in auction in over 50 years, very rare.
8vo., original printed boards, later cloth back
