Richard Phillips (December 13, 1767 - April 2, 1840) was an English author, publisher, and schoolteacher. Born in London, Phillips was a schoolteacher and bookseller in Leicester for a time before returning to London due to some 'political difficulties'. There, he established a business on Paternoster Row and founded The Monthly Magazine in 1796. In 1807 he served as Sheriff of London, at which time he was knighted. Phillips overextended his finances and declared bankruptcy during the Bank Panic of 1837. He died in Brighton.

This is a fascinating and rare 1804 Sir Richard Phillips map of the United States, featuring the ephemeral states of Franklinia and Morgania. Printed shortly after the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783), it illustrates the new country as it was struggling to resolve issues of state vs. federal sovereignty. The map captures a time of endless possibility, where the ambitious could stake out settlements and build trade empires on loosely policed frontiers. This map includes two such colonies, Franklinia and Morgania. (more details)
