By 1822 several of the charts published in 1814 were obsolete so they were revised, and the whole atlas was reissued by the Hydographical Office of the Admiralty. Some plates were issued with the statement "Corrected to 1822" and the remaining plates, including the coastal profiles and botanical illustrations were issued with the revised imprint and the Hydrographical Office seal, and, in the case of the charts, with compass roses and rhumb-lines. The complete atlas was not again issued by the Hydographical Office, but as time passed individual plates were revised and reprinted, reprinted without revision, or withdrawn as necessary.
