MELISH, John (1771-1822): Military Documents: Consisting of a Description of the Seat of War in the northern section of the United States and Canada. A description of the southern section of the United States, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. Official documents relative to the operations of the British Army in reducing the Canadas, 1759-60. List of the military districts of the United States. Register of the army and general staff. List of the United States Navy. Illustrated by maps of the straits of Niagara, east end of Lake Ontario, and Montreal,

Philadelphia: Printed by G. Palmer, 1814. Octavo. (8 1/8 x 4 7/8 inches). [1]-34; [1]-18; [1]-29 [1]; [1]-44 pp. 3 maps after Melish engraved by John Vallance (1) and H. S. Tanner (2). Contemporary roan-backed marbled paper-covered boards, early manuscript label on upper cover, modern red cloth chemise, all within modern red morocco-backed red cloth slipcase, the spine of the slipcase lettered in gilt. A rare, cartographically- illustrated work by Melish: a separately-issued work to accompany his War of 1812 maps and give "a general view of the principal places along the lines, on both sides ... concluding with a general view of the British possessions." This interesting and rare work by the American geographer relating to the War of 1812 consists of six sections: the first three described in the title above, the others being a list of the military districts of the United States, a register of the army and general staff, and a list of the ships and commanders of the United States Navy. Includes descriptions of Upper and Lower Canada, East and West Florida, the Bahamas, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Montreal, etc. The three maps are: "View of the Country round the Falls of Niagara," "East End of Lake Ontario," and "Plan of Montreal, with a map of the Islands & Adjoining Country." In 1813, Melish first published his Map of the Seat of War in North America, with a new edition from a new plate appearing shortly thereafter. The success led to Melish separately-publishing his Map of the Southern Section of the United States, as well as a map of the Straits of Detroit. Melish packaged these three maps together, along with the 3 smaller maps found in the present work, and published his Military and Topographical Atlas. Apparently seeing a market for the work to those who had already purchased the three large maps separately (or to those who wished to purchase them separately), Melish in 1815 published the present work which encompassed his Atlas without the three large maps. This work is not well known. Sabin incorrectly attributes a date of 1817 to this book, basing his entry on a J.R. Smith catalogue, stating "probably made up by J.R.S." Ristow does not mention the present title and incorrectly states that Melish was the engraver of the maps of Lake Ontario and Montreal (the present example with Tanner's imprint). Shaw & Shoemaker and OCLC together locate a total of only three other extant copies (American Antiquarian Society, University of Pittsburgh, and Allegheny College). Not in the NUC, Howes, or the Servies bibliography of Florida. This copy bears the ownership signatures of two members of the United States Army on the front free endpaper. The earlier is that of James Muhlenberg Bailey, dated August 1816. Bailey is identified as a lieutenant (promoted in 1812) in the Army register at the rear of the text. The later signature (and ink stamp) is that of "C.A. Waite / U.S. Army." Waite, a career soldier, was decorated for his service in the Mexican War. The paper label on the front board also bears Waite's signature. Grodzinski, War of 1812, 147; Sabin 47433; Shaw & Shoemaker 32098; c.f. Ristow, chapter 12.
