Also within are: Twenty-five plates + 6 folding plates depicting the House and Senate in session (2); a birds-eye view of the city, with the Capitol in the foreground (1); and floor plans of the Capitol (2).
The publisher’s declared that this seventh edition was “a new work. It has been entirely rewritten, and embraces a description of the public buildings, grounds, and objects of interest in the city and its vicinity.”
