Condition
Very Good
Description
Philadelphia, 1811. No Binding. Very Good. 21 3/8 x 33 ½ inches.. Deckled edges; centerfold reinforced, else excellent. Separately published-very scarce. In 1792 Reading Howell published the first map of Pennsylvania to show the full extent of the state with accurate boundary lines. The present work is an amplified version of this work and the first edition of it published in the 19th century. Moreover, this edition was elegantly engraved by John Vallance, who also produced the first official plan of Washington, DC and the Griffith map of Maryland. Howell's excellent map was not superseded until 1822 when Melish's map of the state appeared. Ristow, pp. 108-109; cf. Rumsey 4181.

Description
Philadelphia Printed. London: Reprinted for J. Almon, Opposite Burlington House, Picadilly, 1774. 8vo (8" x 4.75"). [ii, title leaf], 82, 2 pp. pub. ads. Removed from sammelband, with remnant of binding at spine. CONDITION: Very good, light foxing to first and last few leaves, later pencil annotation to title page, minor puncture at center and loss at lower margin of first leaves, no affect to text. The first British edition of the proceedings of the first Continental Congress, "one of the most important documents of the American Revolution" (Reese). These Extracts represent a condensed version of the activity of the Continental Congress's first session, between September 5th and October 26th, 1774, and it is through them-reprinted in Boston, Hartford, Lancaster, New York, Annapolis, London, and elsewhere-that the groundwork for America's organized resistance and rebellion was laid. Rushed to the press immediately after the session's close, the Extracts contains the Declaration of Rights; the List of Grievances; the articles of Association, by which the colonies united in their boycott of consuming, importing, or exporting British goods, and which Abraham Lincoln would later identify as the origin of the Union; and three addresses, to "the People of Great Britain," the British North American colonists, and the colonists of Quebec. In this latter address, the Congress solicits Quebec's friendship and support of "the consolidated powers of North-America," and invites delegates to the year's Congressional session. Howes describes the Extracts as "The forerunner of the Declaration of Independence." REFERENCES: Adams, American Controversy 74-83c; Evans 13713-13736 (for the American imprints); Howes E247; Reese, Revolutionary Hundred 25 (for the Philadelphia edition); Sabin 15528.
