The "first thorough American survey of the lower Mississippi and Gulf regions" (Howes) and one of the earliest American reports on West Florida. Following his work on laying out the plans and surveys for Washington, D.C., Ellicott was appointed commissioner to determine the boundary between the United States and Spanish Florida. His travels, occupying four years, covered the Mississippi Valley, Florida, and the southern hinterlands. First published in 1803, the text provides a detailed summary of his work, while the maps show the borders and the region in far more detail than they had been illustrated previously. At the time of the Louisiana Purchase, this was one of the foremost authorities available on the region, and Ellicott's surveys and mentoring would have a profound influence on Meriwether Lewis, whom he advised at the request of Thomas Jefferson. The present copy is a scarce example of the first edition, second issue: i.e. comprised of the sheets of the 1803 first edition, but with a cancel title page on wove paper bearing the 1814 imprint of William Fry.

Andrew Ellicott (1754-1820) was a land surveyor, born a Quaker in Pennsylvania, the son of a miller and clockmaker. As a youth, he studied mathematics, astronomy and the sciences. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Ellicott enlisted in the Maryland militia, rising to position of Major. Upon returning home, he began his career as a surveyor working on the Mason-Dixon line. In 1785, he surveyed the western border of Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the northern meridian came to be known as the "Ellicott Line." Appointed by George Washington, he continued and completed the plan for Washington, DC, begun by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. He was assisted in this contentious project from 1791-2 by two of his brothers and a self-taught African American surveyor, Benjamin Banneke. Some of the boundary stones laid then stand today. Ellicott spent four years (1796-1800), surveying the Spanish territories along the coast of Florida, where he also established an "Ellicott Line." In 1798, President John Adams refused payment to Ellicott, who in turn became Secretary of the Pennsylvania Land Office, a more reliable, yet lower paying position. In 1803, President Jefferson appointed Ellicott as teacher and mentor to Merriweather Lewis, imparting his knowledge of surveying methods and materials. He also surveyed land won in the Louisiana Purchase. He spent his final years teaching math at West Point. Ellicott's Journal contains information about his activities, observations and correspondence while traveling as a surveyor between 1796 and 1800. It is the "first thorough American survey of the lower Mississippi and Gulf region" (Howes). He details the perilous diplomacy between the United States and Spain, describing people and landscapes he encountered along the way. The large appendix contains astronomical and thermometrical information. The New Bedford Free Public Library, founded in 1852, contains significant historical holdings, especially regarding whaling and Quaker materials.

First edition, and a bright and attractive copy. Ellicott's career as a surveyor "began in 1784 with his appointment as one of the commissioners for Virginia to clarify the boundaries between that state and Pennsylvania.He was commissioned with David Rittenhouse and Andrew Porter to define the western boundary of Pennsylvania, and in 1787 he completed a survey of the state's northern boundary. In 1789 Ellicott moved his family to Philadelphia and was employed by the federal government to survey the Presqu' Isle triangle, the tract north of the forty-second parallel and south of Lake Erie, a project that occupied him into 1791. In early 1796 President Washington commissioned him to undertake the survey of the boundary between the United States and the Spanish territory of Florida in accordance with a treaty with Spain. Ellicott kept a detailed account of all that came to his notice and obstruction he encountered from the Spanish. After completing the survey in the spring of 1800 he submitted his report to the State Department. Because President John Adams withheld it from the Senate, however, no appropriation was made for Ellicott's compensation, which left him in serious financial difficulties. After publication of his report in Philadelphia in 1803, he rose to considerable prominence in the world of science" (Silvio A. Bedini for ADNB).
