Hi Robert,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

"Morse's New Universal Atlas of the World, Improved Plan" was a 19th-century atlas published by Sidney Edwards Morse, son of Jedidiah Morse, a noted geographer. This atlas was known for its detailed maps and geographical information, reflecting the expanding knowledge and cartography of the time. It was an important update in geographical documentation, reflecting the latest advancements in exploration and territorial developments of the time.

This volume is currently available through online sellers with a retail price of between $600 and 700, depending on condition. When it has sold at auction in the past, it's sold for between $250 and $350, depending on condition. Your copy may have its original binding intact but it's got some other condition issues that warrant a fair-market value of $200-300 (assuming it is complete and not missing any maps).

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
