Travels through Canada and the United States of North America
John Lambert, 1813
LAMBERT, John. Travels through Canada and the United States of North America, in the years 1806, 1807, & 1808. London: C. Cradock and W. Joy, 1813.

Lambert's travels, second edition, first issue. "The author travelled through New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Boston, Quebec, and Montreal, and gives important information as to trade, ship-building, and manufactures, as well as social sketches" (Lande). It must have been influential to emigration in this period; the first edition was published in three volumes in 1810, two issues of the second edition were made with title-pages dated 1813 and 1814, and there was a third edition in 1816. Abbey Travel 613; Bobins 1447; Howes L-40; Lande 506; Sabin 38734.

Two volumes, octavo (213 x 125mm). With two hand-colored maps, one of which is folding, and 16 aquatint plates, about a third of which are hand-colored the others printed in sepia (offsetting to maps and plates, scattered few stains, folding map with a patch on verso causing an area of browning near stub). Leaf with binder's directions and publisher's advertisement at end of volume one. Contemporary calf (rebacked, edges and joints rubbed). Provenance: Richard Congreve (modern bookplates).Lambert, John
