Quarto (215 x 175 mm.), full contemporary cloth, ornate blind ruling to boards, gilt embossed title to upper board, rebacked preserving original spine with gilt title. Five parts in one volume, with pictorial frontispiece and title, typographic title, Preface and 40 early wash coloured lithographic plates. The first two maps with some marginal water staining, some light offsetting as usual, otherwise a good example. Reuben Ramble designed this atlas for children but it is now highly desired. The maps were originally published by Robert Miller as the 'New Miniature Atlas' of 1821. Prior to that they were utilised as a set of exceedingly rare card maps of the counties by Thomas Crabb. Here Ramble surrounds the wide margins of the maps with a series of ornate vignettes. The reference works normally place a date of c.1845 on this work however we have had an example of the Western part with ownership inscriptions dated 1843. Ramble, whose name is a pseudonym for the Reverend Samuel Clark (1810-75), left his father's business in 1836 and went to London. He soon became a partner to William Darton. He went on to write geography books for children and later in life became the Rector of Eaton-Bishop. Provenance: 'From the Pailton Christmas Tree January 1870'. Carroll (1996) 74B; Chubb (1927) 517.…

Philip D. Burden joined his father in the business in 1979. His interests included the British Isles and North America. He wrote and published in 1996 and 2007 the definitive two volume treatise entitled ‘The Mapping of North America’. This was the first work to list all known printed maps relating to North America up to the year 1700. Each fully described and illustrated. Clive A. Burden Ltd. is a member of the following organisations: the ABA (Antiquarian Bookdealers Association), ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), and IMCoS (International Map Collector’s Society). …
