The traveller's guide through the middle and northern states, and the provinces of Canada ... Eighth edition
Saratoga Springs: published by G. M. Davison; and by S. S. & W. Wood, New York, 1840. 16mo, pp. xiv, [2], [19]-395, [1]; large folding Map of the Routes through the Middle and Northern States (dated 1834); original ribbed brown cloth, leather label on spine; very good. "The Guide ... commences at Augusta, in Georgia, though a rapid glance of the country merely is taken until reaching Washington city. It being the object of tourists from the south, as the warm season approaches, to accelerate their journey to the more salubrious climate of the north, a description of the southern states would be foreign to the design of this work ... We therefore briefly notice some of the pertinent cities and towns at the south, and pass on to those sections embraced within what has usually been denominated the Northern Tour" (Introduction).
