Description

Washington: GPO, 1900. 1st ed. Hardcover. Good. Second (Spanish-language) title-page dated 1899, 24p. plus 30 full page maps. Original black cloth. 38 x 33 cm. Backstrip reglued bur still chipped at ends and worn along sides. Forner owner's name on front pastedown. Internally sound and clean. No jacket (as published?). At head of title: Treasury Department, U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Special Publication No. 3. The maps in this atlas were compiled at the Jesuit Observatory in the Philippines and generally credited to Father Jose Algue, its Director, who supervised preparation of the maps. The maps were completed with U. S funding and published through the agency of the United States Coast and Geogetic Survey. Exact geographic information did not yet exist for some areas, such as the interior of Mindanao, but, as the Introduction states, the maps were believed "... to fairly represent the present state of geographic knowledge of the Philippine Archipelago ... [have utilized] a large amount of new information."
