Second edition of the second American book of road maps following Christopher Colles' exceedingly rare Survey of the Roads of the United States 1789 and the first road map book to provide detailed maps of the road from Philadelphia north through New Jersey to New York and from Philadelphia south through Delaware Maryland and Virginia to Washington. Joshua John Moore and Thomas W. Jones were young surveyors in the employ of the Philadelphia publisher Mathew Carey. From several letters they wrote to Carey during the course of the survey Lea & Febiger papers PHi a clear picture emerges of the extremely difficult task they had undertaken. On June 29 1801 they wrote from New York: "We should have written to you before this had not fatigue of our daily Journies rendered repose indispensable after the finishing of our Notes and Traverses. After twelve days driving our way through an immense multitude of Questioners Observers laughters & Critics who generally thronged around us at every place to our great discomposure at first . we are at length arrived here. If astonishment would ensure success to a work we may entertain strong hopes indeed of ours; but it has nearly exhausted our health as every violent effort naturally must." Upon completion of the surveys the maps were drawn by the surveyors. They locate crossroads streams taverns churches and other public buildings and occasionally private houses. The text describes the various towns through which the roads pass. In this second edition published two years after the first edition of 1802 the descriptive text has been extensively corrected and expanded. The maps are identical to those in the earlier edition and are printed from the same plates. unknown books

1780Pianta del rione tratta dalla celebre guida di Roma di Dominique Magnan La ville de Rome, ou, Description abrégée de cette superbe ville: divisée en quatre volumes: et ornée de 425 planches en taille douce. A Rome: De l'imprimerie d'Archange Casaletti ... : Chez Venan. Monaldini, Bouchard et Gravier : Gregoire Settari ..., 1778. Dominique Magnan (1731–1796), dotto abate francese del convento della Trinità dei Monti, dell'ordine dei minimi, a Roma, che fu profondamente coinvolto nella vita intellettuale della sua comunità durante la seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Ha studiato all'università di Avignone, poi si è unito ai Minimi di La Ciotat all'età di 20 anni, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera come collezionista di monete e medaglie antiche. Nominato professore di teologia a Marsiglia, ha continuato il suo lavoro. Si mise in contatto con i più famosi antiquari dell'epoca, sia in Italia che in Germania, e acquisì rapidamente una vasta reputazione. I suoi primi libri hanno ricevuto il plauso della critica. Ma i suoi lavori più significativi erano sulla numismatica sebbene fortemente criticati dagli specialisti dell'epoca in quanto la copertura universale e completa del soggetto poteva mantenere la confusione tra monete autentiche e false. Bibliografia: Rossetti, G-1285; Schudt 363. Map taken from the famous guide of Rome by Dominique Magnan La ville de Rome, ou, Description abrégée de cette superbe ville: divisée en quatre volumes: et ornée de 425 planches en taille douce. A Rome: De l'imprimerie d'Archange Casaletti ... : Chez Venan. Monaldini, Bouchard et Gravier : Gregoire Settari ..., 1778. Dominique Magnan (1731–1796), a learned French abbot of the Trinità dei Monti convent, of the order of the minims, in Rome, who was deeply involved in the intellectual life of his community during the second half of the 18th century. He studied at the University of Avignon, then joined the Minims of La Ciotat at age 20, where he began his career as a collector of ancient coins and medals. Appointed professor of theology in Marseille, he continued his work. He got in touch with the most famous antiquaries of the time, both in Italy and Germany, and speedily acquired an extensive reputation. His first books received critical acclaim. But his most significant works were on numismatics though heavily criticized by specialists of the time in that universal and complete coverage of the subject could maintain confusion between authentic coins and the fake ones.
