Flat earth map.
Shows the sun's path and country outlines.
Includes notes about the map; an entreaty for Great Britain to declare war on Russia, which recently took Kars and Batum in the Russo-Turkish War; and verses the author claims to have been written for her in 1841 when she was an infant on a ship from Falmouth to Barbadoes. Verses are the first and last stanzas of the poem "On a sleeping boy" by unknown author.
