Title
United States of America map
Description
This item consists of three files from an teaching atlas from England created by Rev. Edward Patteson. The first is a map of the United States, apparently not yet reflecting the Louisiana Purchase. The second is what Patteson terms a "Blank Duplicate" of the first map, which he argues will be found "very convenient...as giving a much clearer view of the number and situation of the Towns, Rivers, &c. than a Map crowded with names." Patteson's pedagogy seems to have entailed students recognizing political boundaries at least in terms of latitudes and natural features, like rivers and mountain ranges.<br />
<br />
The third image is a merged document enacting Patteson's design to have the Blank Duplicate "placed opposite to the written Map."
