Philadelphia: Published by A. Finley, [1828].. Folding pocket map, 13 3/4 x 19 1/4 inches, with full period color. Bound into contemporary 16mo. gilt-stamped limp brown leather boards. Boards rubbed and lightly stained. Sales label for Finley's company, listing several newly published maps, affixed to front pastedown. Small separations at a few map joints. Light tanning, but overall very good. A scarce and attractive pocket map of New York State published by Anthony Finley and engraved by J.H. Young and Company. Finley's first pocket map of New York appeared in 1824 and was followed by a second edition, dated 1825, included in Finley's A NEW AMERICAN ATLAS (1826). There are other editions dated 1826 and 1827, all apparently with insets showing the levels of the Erie Canal and population or statistical tables. The present edition appears to be a variant, lacking the insets. This edition is not in Rumsey or Phillips. OCLC locates a total of five copies. OCLC 49870279, 8444218.
