Jeremiah Greenleaf (1791-1864) is a little-known but highly admired American cartographer who flourished between 1830 and 1850. In addition to the present item, we have copies of the 1840 and 1843 editions of his most important work, A New Universal Atlas, as well as editions of his Grammar Simplified (1826, 1839, and 1851) and his Self-taught Grammarian (1829).
