Sketches of America : a narrative of a journey of five thousand miles through the eastern and western states of America : contained in eight reports addressed to the thirty-nine English families by whom the author was deputed, in June 1817, to ascertain whether any, and what part of the United States would be suitable for their residence : with remarks on Mr. Birkbeck's "Notes" and "Letters"
Henry Bradshaw Fearon's 1819 London travel narrative, published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, reports on eight letters written for thirty-nine English families weighing settlement in the United States after a 1817 journey. The single picture is a plain survey map of townships in grid form, with numbered squares, a river, and a prairie labelled in pencil-thin type, useful to a designer for its diagrammatic land-division layout and simple hand-lettered labels.
