Significant work on the climate of the United States, with two very nice maps, "Carte des Etats-Unis de l'Amérique-Nord Pour servir au Tableau du Climat et du Sol," and "arte du Continent de l'Amérique Nord..."This is the issue with the vocabulary at the end of Vol. II paged [525]-532 rather that 1-8. In this copy pages 533-4 and the errata leaf are bound in at the beginning of Vol. I rather than the end of Vol. II; also, Vol. II bound without the half-title. Formerly in the William I. Clements Library of American History, University of Michigan, with their bookplates (but no other markings); also, armorial bookplates with an undentified monogram.
