Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. 23rd edition ; ix, 360 pp. ; 18 cm. ; LC: G125; Dewey: 910 ; OCLC: 16067752 ; "Dr. Morse's career as a Geographer commenced as early as the winter of 1783-84, while he was teaching a school in New Haven, and pursuing at the same time the study of Theology. The English Geography by Guthrie was the only Compend then in use in any of our schools; and that was lamentably deficient in what related to our own country. To supply this deficiency he gathered information from all the sources within his reach, and imparted it in lectures to his pupils. Aware that the same need was felt in other schools, he was led to frame the substance of his lectures into a book; and this was published in 1784,-the first Geography of any kind ever published in Am erica. It was a duodecimo of two hundred and fourteen pages, entitled 'Geography made easy.' This, taken in connection with his subsequent efforts in the same direction, fairly entitles him to the distinction of being the Father of American Geography." -- from The Life of Jedidiah Morse, D.D.

Hardcover. Large Quarto, 11 x 9 1/2 inches. 1/4 red leather spine over marbled boards, gilt decorations at spine, color maps with one fold out of the United States. 'The double-page map of the United States, engraved by A. Doggett, is similar to the one engraved by N. & S.S. Jocelyn and published in Morse's An Atlas of the United States [1823] and New Universal Atlas of the World [1825], which is cited by Wheat. This earlier map is not mentioned. The map features the Oregon country with the overly-long Multnomah (Willamette) River. There is no northern boundary shown, although the map of North America shows the correct boundary to the Pacific. In the west, which is mostly labeled Unexplored Country, a dotted line connects a lake in the vicinity of Salt Lake to the Pacific accompanied by a note, 'Supposed River between the Buenaventara and the Bay of Francisco which will probably be the communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific.' (Old World Auctions) Jedidiah Morse was a notable geographer whose textbooks became a staple for students in the United States. He was the father of telegraphy pioneer and painter Samuel F. B. Morse, and his textbooks earned him the sobriquet of 'father of American geography.'

Light dampstaining and scattered foxing, but contents generally quite bright. Very good. Second edition of this atlas by noted geographer Jedidiah Morse, with corrections by N. & S.S. Jocelyn. Jedidiah Morse (1761- 1826) was a noted clergyman and an important contributor to geographical publications, considered the "father of American Geography." In 1797 he published THE AMERICAN GAZETTEER, which went through several editions. "During their author's lifetime the Morse geographies virtually monopolized their field in the United States" - DAB. Sidney, Morse's son, was a noted inventor and author, who worked with his father on some of the latter's geographical publications. The map of the United States shows the country as it appeared after the Louisiana Purchase and the statehood of Maine and Missouri.
