QUIN, EDWARD - AN HISTORICAL ATLAS in a Series of Maps of the World as Known at Different Periods, Constructed Upon an Uniform Scale and Coloured According to the Political Changes of Each Period. London, RB & G Seeley, 1850. Fourth edition, folio, 21 fine folding hand-coloured maps (correct as list) with accompanying text, half red leather, scuffed at joints and extremities. The final 6 large maps are, in effect, world maps (at least reflecting the known-world at the time of the period covered) - two of these depict the world at the time of 'The Discovery of America, 1498' and 'At the Separation of the United States of America from England, 1783'
