MORSE, Sidney E. A NEW UNIVERSAL ATLAS OF THE WORLD, ON AN IMPROVED 
PLAN; CONSISTING OF THIRTY MAPS, CAREFULLY PREPARED FROM THE LATEST 
AUTHORITIES, WITH COMPLETE ALPHABETICAL INDEXES. New Haven, CT: N & S.S. 
Jocelyn, 1825. Second Edition. First published in 1822. Quarto (8-13/16" 
x 11") bound in the original half red morocco leather with matching 
corners, marbled paper boards, and printed paper label on the front 
cover. Illustrated with a full-page, engraved double-hemisphere map of 
the world; a double-page map of the United States; and 28 full-page maps 
of America and the world, including 10 of the United States, all with 
original hand-coloring. Maps with American interest include: North 
America; the United States; Canada; Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont; 
Massachusetts, Rhode-Island, and Connecticut; New York; Pennsylvania and 
New Jersey; Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware; North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and Georgia; Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana; Kentucky and 
Tennessee; Ohio and Indiana; Illinois and Missouri; West Indies; South 
America. Australia is depicted in the Pacific Ocean.

Maps generally Very Good with strong coloring. A dark stain to the 
margin of maps toward the rear not touching any images and some 
dampstaining, mostly rather faint, at the bottom of some of the maps 
with little or no effect on the images. Library markings mostly removed 
from the covers and endpapers. Some peeling of the marbled paper on the 
covers. Overall a Very Good copy of this uncommon atlas.

Sidney Morse was the brother of the artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse.
