PAMPHLETS - LEAR, TOBIAS] Observations on the River Potomack, the Country Adjacent, and the City of Washington . New York: Loudon and Brower, 1794. Likely the 2nd edition. Disbound. 7 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches (18 x 11.5 cm); 30 pp. Stamps and ink marks to title, dampstain to final leaves. This early work on the Potomac River and the new Federal City of Washington is often misattributed to Andrew Ellicott who in 1791 had surveyed the Territory of Columbia. It is identified as being by Lear in his November 1793 correspondence with George Washington regarding his work. While Sabin does not call for a map, the work is sometimes recorded as having a folding plan, which is not present in this copy. Sabin 22218. C The New York City Bar Association
