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.

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.
