An historical atlas, in a series of maps of the world as known at different periods, constructed upon an uniform scale, and coloured according to the political changes of each period /

"The description and historical portion of this work will be found in a volume entitled Universal history, by Edward Quin" [issued in 1838 (i.e. 1837) reprinted from the first edition of the Historical atlas, published in 1830] cf. Dict. nat. biog. and Lowndes.
Maps show only the known parts of the world for each period. Plates otherwise graphically obscure the rest of the world with opaque clouds.
Phillips, 141
