First (Scottish) edition, and first edition to include sections on both the Jerusalem and New York panoramas. The New York panorama was in three panels, the first view being "taken opposite the city hall about the middle of Broadway, bounded on the East River, the town and wooded heights of Brooklyn ... on the west is the Hudson, with a long line of shipping ...". This is followed by views of St. Pauls's Church, the "north-end of Broadway" and finally "Park row ... the Bowery of New York Theatre...". The panorama of Jersusalem was exhibited in Boston in 1837, New York in 1838, and in Philadelphia. The painting perished when Frederick Catherwood's rotunda in New York burned down in July 1842.
With: The Visitor, or Monthly instructor for 1836. Pages 136-139 of this Christian periodical (published by the Religious Tract Society) concern the panorama of Jerusalem.
