[WILLIAMSON, Charles (1757-1808)]. A Description of the Genessee Country, in the State of New York: In which the Situation, Dimensions, Civil Divisions, Soil, Minerals, Produce, Lakes and Rivers, Curiosities...are Impartially Described. To Which is added an Appendix, Containing a Description of the Military Lands. By Robert Munro [pseud.]. New York: Printed for the Author, 1804.
8o (208 x 130 mm). Full-page engraved map of the Genessee Country. (Some pale browning.) Modern red quarter morocco, marbled boards.
Howes records three printings in 1804, of which this is the only printing with a map. Vail, in his article "A Western New York Land Prospectus" in Bookman's Holiday, analyzes the various printings and calls this the fourth, suggesting that it is much more uncommon than the third because of a decline in the company's activities. Howes W-493; Sabin 51355; Vail 1221 note.
