Thompson, G.A. THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF AMERICA AND 
THE WEST INDIES. Containing an Entire Translation of the Spanish Work of 
Colonel Don Antonio de Alcedo, with Large Additions and Compilations from 
Modern Voyages and Travels, and from Original and Authentic Information.

New York; Burt Franklin: 1970. A facsimile of Thompson's revised and 
augmented 1812-15 edition, considered superior to Alcedo's original Spanish 
edition which was published in the 1780s. It is nothing more or less than 
an encyclopedia of the history and geography of the Americas, and although 
the work has a heavy emphasis on Spanish material, there is also much on 
Canada and English America. 5 volumes. Hardcovers. 7.5"x10.5", xx + 574 
pages; 597 pages; 512 pages; 636 pages; xlii + 462 + 105 pages; folding 
chart; near fine. [06084] $300.00
