Lacks the half-title but with the publisher's ad in the rear. London, 1814
- Notes: first english edition of the authorized and complete account of the expedition. This edition is largely the same as the Philadelphia first edition, but without the appendix and Jefferson's biography of Lewis and with a few variations to the map. However, it is considered far superior in terms of the quality of the printing and paper.
