- "A separate issue of the atlas, originally designed to accompany Winterbotham's Historical view of the United States [Evans 31647]."--Evans.
- The second American Atlas published in the United States. Five of the maps (North America, South America, West Indies, U.S., Kentucky, and Washington) were direct copies of the maps in the London edition of Winterbotham, 1795, by J. Russell. The other fifteen state maps were original, although some think they were derived from Carey's American Atlas of 1795. A limited number of copies included the map of Washington, D.C.
- Maps engraved by John Scoles, Benjamin Tanner, John Roberts, Alexander Anderson, David Martin, and William Rollinson.
- Two settings of type of the title page noted. In one, the word "viz." is set in Roman type; in the other, it is set in italic, and the period is omitted. The ornaments vary.
- Plan of the City of Washington has two states: State (1) has imprint: Published by J. Reid, L. Wayland and C. Smith 1795; State (2) lists only J. Reid as publisher.
