United States. President (1801-1809 : Jefferson)
Notes:Vol. 1-2 pub. by Blussé & zoon; vol. 3, by Blussé en van Braam.
Doubtless made from the English 3 v. ed of 1815 (Rees' preface being reproduced and memoir of Lewis omitted) In place of the original appendices are given, Jefferson's Message, and Lewis' Mandan letter to the president, these two occupying p. 327-335, and styled "Bijlagen." The book ends with "Aanteekeningen," on p. 335. The map is legended: "Kaart der reizen van Lewis en Clarke door het westerlijk gedeelte van Noord Amerika, van den Mississippi tot de Zuid zee, op last van de uitvoerende magt der Vereenigde Staten in 1804, 5 en 6." In lower margin is "C. van Baarsel en zoon, sculps." and "Te Dordrecht, bij A. Blussé & zoon." This map was redrawn and re-engraved, and the execution is better than that of the original.--Coues.
